Moment in Time (originally submitted to ThisWeek News for publication November 21, 2006)

This Fred Fixler painting was the cover of the football program for the 1960 game between Grandview and Hilliard. The Bobcats lost the contest 20-14 that night, but the team played strong games later in the year. This cover portrait is part of a collection of football program covers donated to the Historical Society by Al Rosetti, who was one of the team captains on the Bobcat squad the next year. The speaker at the football banquet this year was Tad Weed, who graduated from Grandview in 1951 and played for the Ohio State Buckeyes, kicking for Coach Woody Hayes on the 1954 Buckeye national championship team. He later played for the NFL Rams and Steelers. Weed passed away last week (November 7, 2006).
