REMEMBER FROM MR. WYRICK'S CLASS CONFUSING A PLANE WITH A PLANE. FOUND OUT THAT WHILE ONE CAN FLY THE OTHER IS ALWAYS FLAT LIKE A BOOK (OR I THINK THAT IT IS HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED). AND DON ROWLAND NEVER LET ME FORGET THAT MEMORY. AND I ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THE 1960 BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST HASTINGS. WOW!!! WHAT A GAME!
