92 years ago today it was snowing in La Crosse. Actually, the snow began to fall during the early morning hours of the 28th of November, 1919, and it kept snowing until the evening of the 29th. When it was all over we had an 8.4 inch snow cover.
By the way, it was the next day that Uncle Jim was born.
Speaking of 1919, that was also the year the Green Bay Packers were formed. However, the Packers didn't join the National Football League until 1921.
I was telling Rita, Dad never liked football. He started the high school football team in Marion but only because high school football was just becoming a big deal and he was asked to form a team. Basketball was always his first love when it came to sports.
Back to the calendar, It was also on this date in 1986 that Cary Grant died at the age of 82 and in 1981 Natalie Wood died at the age of 43.
