Good Job to all!!!

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Congrats to all!

[loganlocos]

Congrats to all, especially Ron Janey.

Logan gave Odie to Gallipolis, and Gallipolis gave Ron to Logan.

These two class individuals are an excellent attribute to both of their "hometowns." I know that both bled blue and purple at the same time.
