Admittedly I'm an easy mark when it comes to stories like this. Add the fact that my maternal side of my family hails from this area of the state. My grandmother was a cheerleader for Birdseye when they were known as the Redbirds, and just about every relative from Dubois County suited up for them over the years - Redbirds and Yellow Jackets alike. Still, even without a vested interest, I'm guessing most will find this a great read!
