Going for your dreamsGreat job at capturing the dreams of one man. You've mined the remnants of that bowl game, the ball, the flag, and the newspaper reports, and detailed a bittersweet process of hopes, failures and dreams, unrealized but attempted, after all. |

hard to believe..but true!
Great job telling the "rest of the story". Loved the music and the siblings additions. Good research. Very well done. Go NYC winter sports!
