Thanks The ed17. I have Newspapers.com access and there are a bunch of good articles on what happened around that time. I've been working to bring all the presidents of the Packers up to GA-status. Jones is my last! Should get expanded and go to GAN in September. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:22, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other than that, this hook is GTG once that requirement is met. Great work. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:52, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I have never heard of that. Pseud 14, added. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
