Well, she obviously thinks very highly of herself but not of her former colleagues. If you aren't going to miss her regardless of the tacky quote, don't email a reply. Her email doesn't require one.

My god, why do you care? Delete and never think of it again.

Love it. I so agree; this is what I'd do.

Oh man! Is that a real quote? OP, if so, you MUST DO IT.

maybe she googled for a quote about team and excellence and cut and pasted it without really realizing who joe paterno was.

OP here. I just left it alone, and didn't reply. But if I was gutsy, I would have done the above. That is just awesome. Thanks for all who weighed in.
