[Thanks to Dean Jackson, Elliot Bloom and others involved, an estimated 100,000-plus people per day will be reminded of - or maybe learn about - Rick Mount's greatness.
Jackson, owner of Jackson Farms in Mount's native Lebanon, offered up his grain silo facing southbound I-65 for a banner commemorating Mount. An estimated 116,000 people will drive by the banner each day.
"My oldest brother, Don, a retired school teacher, got the idea started for this sign," Dean Jackson said Tuesday morning, during an unveiling of sorts at his farm. "He said, ‘Lebanon has never done anything and Rick Mount is a big deal.' We asked our graphics people together to figure out cost and then Purdue called me out of the blue. We worked with Elliot and between the two of us we got this done."]
