Jeff Ash rocks. His postings on some site somewhere (pre-dating x4) were the first "local" Packer ones that I found on the web back in the early to mid-1990s other than the JSO and GBPG. He did a lot of offseason and TC observations as well as NE Wisconsin doings, good stuff for an expat like myself. I don't remember his being on x4 either.

Jeff was laid off a few months back from the GBPG and if he's found new work, he hasn't reported it yet. He has two Twitter feeds, the personal one is @JeffAshGB and another is @packers656667, a project of his where he is tweeting 50 year-to-the-day excerpts from the GBPG archives over 1965-1967 (those years marking the historic Packer 3-in-a-row NFL championships), stuff about the Packers but also local GB coverage of performing arts and significant politics. Great stuff and great follows.

I've had several Twitter exchanges with him and he's a good chap.

In '95 my son sent me Jeff's email addy and said to send him an email and ask him to put you on his Packer info list. I was in Thailand and his posts were a great source of timely Packer news.

He still has access to the Press-Gazette archives and posts almost daily in two Facebook Groups.
"You're probably from Green Bay if..."
"Photos & Memories of Old Green Bay"

LOL, two weeks ago he was able to find a pic of a band I was in 57 yrs ago!!!

57 years? My math must be rong…how old were you in the pic?

From the "Don't Believe I'da Told That One" file.....

Decades ago, a MIL-to-be had joined a Mormon church. She was all happy and proud, and begged us to attend a service with her at least once.
We finally relented, and during the service... somebody got the tummy rumbles. I knew bad stuff was brewing, but thought I could make it to the end.
Nope, gas pressure soon demanded relief, and I tried to squirm and lean without being too obvious, thinking I could sneak one out. Wrong. It was like a machine gun burst, reverberating from a hardwood pew, and created some echo effect I believe.
