We're all in this together.

Important reminder: My Favorite 15 stories are being posted in no particular order. I know what my personal top pick is but I'm keeping that to myself.

Showing my work of culling thousands of John's Journal stories down to 68 ... and somehow we'll get to 15 from there.

I remember the tweet I sent out in Feb of 2021 that got @MinnesotaMillea & the @MSHSL attention. I was so excited when John reached out to me about that gold medal from the 1945 Eveleth Golden Bear Hockey team. I can’t thank John & the MN State HS league enough for that! 🙏 🥇
