A History Lesson
No, this isn't Bronco history; this is a little Alaska history. Our good friend and long time MHR member Jon Tollerud is moving to Cordova, Alaska and I thought he should get a little "Heads Up".
Back in 1923 the President was none other than Warren G. Harding. Harding was a dapper fellow and had quite the reputation as a ladies man. He made Clinton look like a monk. It seems that one of his "friends" turned up pregnant. His advisors thought the best thing was to get him out of Washington until the scandal blew over. Where could they send him? Alaska!! They got him to go to Alaska to drive the Golden Spike which completed the construction of the Alaska Railroad. He was the first President to ever visit the Territory of Alaska. Unfortunately, on the way home Harding died in San Francisco. He died of shell fish poisoning from eating crab in Cordova!!
So Jon, what ever you do, stay away from the crab!
With all of the stress of TC I thought we could use a little diversion.

Excellent so if you live in Cordova you had better be on the up and up!
Sounds like my kind of place!
Until Terrell Davis makes it into the Hall of Fame, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of such a place other than the Ring of Fame at Mile High!
Davis to the Hall!
