This Week’s Trivia Question: There are three Channel Island cattle breeds. The Alderney (now extinct) and the Guernsey are two of them. What’s the third? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “What’s the only team to have drafted two first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks in the same draft?” The answer was the Kansas City Royals (told you it was tricky) who drafted Hall of Fame football quarterbacks Dan Marino and John Elway in the 1979 Major League Baseball draft. Nobody got the right answer.

Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
