John Crowell, who shared some thoughts awhile back when Harry B. Wilson passed away, wrote to say that Harry’s son Russell has been quarterbacking the University of Wisconsin football team, after transferring from North Carolina State. Following in his father’s footsteps, Russell was also drafted by the Colorado Rockies in June of 2010. When this football season is over he will choose to devote himself to one or the other sport. Harry B. would be proud!

My husband and I were in Hanover the end of September for Class Officers Weekend. Always great to be back in Hanover. Our class was represented by Leslie Embs Bradford, John Storella, Jeff McKee, Eric Nelson and yours truly. I only have four more columns to write before I am replaced as class secretary, so now is your chance to write me!
