It feels great to be a National Champ knowing what we went through at the start of the year and throughout the season. It’s kind of hard to believe but it’s true but like they always say Dreams come true as long as you have faith and put the work in.
Springfield, Illinois. Out on the northeast side of town, along Dirksen Parkway, was the Fleetwood Restaurant. It's far from fancy, but as with most of these kind of places, it's got good food. And the Fleetwood's specialty is "broasted" chicken. It's moist, not greasy, seasoned just right. Darn near perfect; even the chicken breasts. So good, I still remember it 40 years later.
Being from Kalamazoo, one of the hardest things to do is to explain to someone where Kalamazoo is, and if you're really unlucky you have to give directions to our marvelous city.
