Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions,
false memories, false namings of real events.” – Adrienne Rich

“Mount Hermon Fire”
November 24, 1965
It was really just a football game.
Sure, we lost
the science building that day,
destroyed by the flames.
But the real news was the end
of our two-year winning streak:
Deerfield Academy: 20,
Northfield Mount Hermon: 14

You can read more about the Mt. Hermon fire here.
the highest paid state employee in the state of Ohio is the football coach. But he did win a national title so I guess it’s OK.
Thanks for sharing. I’d never seen that.
p.s. I love the quote by Rich – so, so true.
