The Marshall football plane crash happened such a long time ago. So, what’s all the commotion about trumpeting another version of an old story that most people know about?
Does it really matter?
Those are excellent questions. Glad that you asked.
In the minds of a lot of people, November 14, 1970 seems like eons ago – going on 47 years to be exact. Even so, the time element really doesn't matter. This story will never lose its significance.
That's all because the whole story needs to be told. Since this all comes down to paying tribute to those who perished, why should any portion of the story be left out?
The media accounts that most folks are familiar with – several documentaries; a history book on Marshall football; and the movie We Are Marshall – are certainly inspiring and thought-provoking. No doubt, these media portrayals help readers and viewers get a better understanding of what took place at Marshall on the night of the crash and the weeks, months and years that followed.
Other sources are just the tip of the iceberg
Most people are amazed by what they discover when they read The Marshall Story and they frequently reflect on what they learned from the movie and the documentaries. But as I conducted interviews and did the research for my memoir about Thundering Herd football from back in the day, I came to realize that there is yet another revelation about this story.
As amazed as folks are, they have no idea that what they’ve gleaned from other sources is really just the tip of the iceberg. The complete story – November Ever After -- is even more amazing than what they already know. So much of it sounds like a Hollywood scripts, but that's hardly the case.
Memoir gets high marks on reader reviews posted on Amazon website
But hey, you don't have to take my word for it. Go to the Amazon website and see for yourself. Check out the reader reviews and you'll find that there's a recurring sentiment. There's so much new information in November Ever After that people didn't even know about. It's an intriguing story that continues to captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds.
