I had the incredible honor of being in Barrow last year as a photojournalist from Florida to document the first game on the "million dollar field". Actually, I have covered this story since Kathy Parker and the Bartram Trail football team first announced their ambitious plans to raise money to put the field in Barrow. Most of you will never know the incredible amount of work, cooperation and faith it took to accomplish such an amazing feat. There were numerous obstacles and unbelievable logistics encountered right up to the field arriving in Barrow. So, it was wonderful to read the team was successful in the first game of their 2008 season! Go Whalers and thank you for allowing me to share in the wonderful spirit that exists so strongly in Barrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-47522154807924289312008-08-11T15:57:00.000-07:002008-08-11T15:57:00.000-07:00Fortunately, it's only about a two-hour flight up....Fortunately, it's only about a two-hour flight up.

Even though I enjoy the plethora of articles on how awesome OSU v USC is going to be (Go Trojans!) and the other usual stuff... it is great to hear about stories like this.
