  1. This was a really good write up, Mark. Thank you for taking your time to speak with us. It was an incredible day to share with this fine community. The people there were incredibly kind & helpful to answer questions we had. Class acts!
    Being from Loogootee, we’ve had our success on the basketball court, and were very close to reenacting the Milan story in 1970 & 1975. Milan will always be the the best David vs Goliath story ever told.
