Well OK Then

A website called Mass News, which describes itself as “one of the fastest emerging tech websites covering all the latest Tech news, information about the latest apps, along with tips in the tech world,” jumps out of its lane with a story headlined, Gridiron Greats: Exploring the Phenomenal Football Careers of Dartmouth’s Past Stars.

Mentioned briefly in the story are Reggie Williams, Jay Fielder, Clarence Spears, Ed Healey, Swede Oberlander, Myles Lane, Bill Morton, Bob MacLeod, Murray (sic) Bowden and Dennis Durkin, the former kicker who gets special attention, including a link to this BIO.

EXTRA POINT
I have several fleece jackets and vests and I still find it hard to believe they might very well have been made from recycled plastic. 

I found myself thinking about that a couple of days ago after noticing a recycling symbol on the plastic door of a Porta Potty at a campground in western Nebraska. I'll never look at my fleece quite the same way. ;-)

One more thing. If you happen to be in North Platte, Neb., I recommend dropping by the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center for a look at the world's largest railyard. It's mind-boggling seeing how freight trains often consisting of 100 or more cars are assembled, and learning a little more about the legendary North Platte Canteen from the displays in the tower.
