Pioneer Spirit - SKs Rise From Tragedy to Glory In '81

[AHSPanther23]

Hardback - $24.95

 

I saw it on the shelves at Joseph-Beth Bookseller in Lexington Green today.

I'm sure that it is available locally although I haven't seen it at Krogers or Wal-mart.

I hope it comes to Krogers or Wal-Mart I would like to get it. I probably will up in the city near Florence this week end I have a Bengals game to go to. Where is it in Florence? :confused:

Got my copy today at Barnes and Noble on the Newport levee.

Doug's father was an assistant for SK, I could be wrong but I believe he was assistant principal for a few years in the mid '80's.

[AHSPanther23]

I hope on getting mine tomorrow before the Bengals game.

Does anyone have pictures or clippings about the explosion?

[PutMeInCoach]

I have a few clips from the paper that day.. I'll try to get them online for everyone to view

I thought so...

Good to see this story come to light. Good bunch of guys on the team. I used to hang out at the Florence drive-in with a few of them back in the day.

 

I can tell you exactly where I was standing in high school when word spread of the explosion. Its one of those moments that get seared into the memory banks.

Where were you?

[NEERFAN]

Started reading my copy tonight and I've learned more than I thought I knew about certain people in the SK community, love a book with pictures and this one has more than a few old clippings all the way back to Troy Mckinley's days as a Taylor Mill Booster.

Where were you?

 

2nd floor - walking to my Accounting class.

[NEERFAN]

Sure that wasn't a "counting" class? Didn't know Conner offered those type of classes.

Whoa now, Nellie. I'll refrain from any (easy) shots back at your alma mater (that means the school you went to;) ).

Just wondering (since I do not have the book yet:madman: )where was that into proportion to the explosion?
