John Greiner sent me these photos of the Elementary School Football Teams when we were in the 6th Grade. He has identified many of the players, but there are still some unknown players. If any of you can identify players, please leave me a comment. If you click on the photos, they will enlarge.

Dear Director:
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? I'm not writing to anger you, but football is dangerous to the brain of players. Whenever a child has a blow to the head where they are stunned, could you please take that child out for 3-7 days, or longer, doctor clearance? Lets be preventative, our nation is at financial risk of cognitive challenges. One happens every 18.5 seconds. Mine has cost over $3 million over 35 years. You don't want to sideline your children with the hardships, I've to deal with everyday. Employment is difficult to keep with bad headaches & getting an education is also difficult. Contact Dr. Rankin, Ph.D., Southern Arkansas University (870)235-4001. I had 24 falls re-challenging my brain due to non-accessible buildings on his campus.
