This Week’s Trivia Question: No local connection, but this is too good a question not to ask: What’s the only team to have drafted two first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks in the same draft? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “In 1963, the J.W. Westcott became the only non-military ship in the world to have its own what?” The answer was its own zip code. Sue Keil was our winner.

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