@dannykanell how many SIs with you holding for Scott Bentley do you receive by mail every month? Over/under 5.5…

And, how many have already been signed by Bentley? Over/under 2.5.

Props to @ohionorthern senior Jacey Wonderly, who interned at @TheMammothSite in the @BlackHills of South Dakota last summer. (She's been my Western Civ tutor thrice now.) Making ONU HISTORY look GOOD! @RC_Go_Huskers @rawatersjr

@Jwdelta1 @theokradawg Purdue transfer. Backup for Drew Brees, then started most of the next year before he lost the job to Kyle Orton. Then, he got stuck behind two Heisman winners at USC.

@theokradawg 2018 Bama wasn’t bad… Jalen Hurts, Tua, and Mac Jones.

[David Strittmatter @DavidStritt]

@theokradawg No. ‘82 Miami. Jim Kelly, freshman Vinny Testaverde, and a redshirted Bernie Kosar. Mark Richt was another QB on that roster.

@americanvoter40 @LemmingReport Hard to imagine Matt Holliday getting into the HoF. Nice career, but HoF?! C'mon.

(2/2) My June visit was my 3rd visit to @CityLuxembourg. First 2 happened before I knew about the genealogical discovery. The photo is front of the Grand Ducal Palace was actually on our first wedding Save-the-Date (until we were COVID-delayed). @LuxembourgDuchy @luxembourginfo

(1/2) I got a good and expected email today from @luxembourg. My citizenship application was approved and paperwork should arrive soon via post… My great-great-great grandfather was born in 1820 in the village of Gostingen, just a few miles from the Moselle River.

Late posting this, but the @4castpublicart "Midwest Memory Grant" retreat in West Plains, MO, was terrific. Thanks for the coverage, @wpquill! Forecast stewarded a grant with @MellonFdn funds, and this is what brought $110k to Alger, OH. @ONUArtandDesign @ohionorthern @AdaIcon

[David Strittmatter @DavidStritt]

A quartet of @ohionorthern students in my public history course will author a "Down Memory Lane" series for the @AdaIcon this fall. Here's the first contribution:

My account got hacked and I’m finally back! It only took 5 weeks and a dozen customer service submissions and email replies!!!

Came back to my @ohionorthern office after a summer away, and I had two handwritten notes from @MikeDeWine in my mailbox. Incredible gesture from a politician and fellow baseball fan. A nice reminder of the Ray Brown dedication in May. @baseballhall @NLBMuseumKC @sabr

Look at this partially hidden gem, @ohionorthern ! Took a couple photos upon returning for faculty orientation. Hill Memorial has stood on Ada’s Main Street since 1879–the only remaining building from ONU’s founding decade AND century. @onualumni @onuhpg @ONU_ICAPP

My recent article in 'Echoes' magazine included The Mine Tavern in Nelsonville. On Saturday, my wife and I took our 4-year down there for a scenic railway trip. THE MINE had it's grand reopening that day after a 6-ft chunk of brick wall collapsed in Feb. @OhioHistory @ohiolha

This author bio blip will probably be the best one of my life.

My Twitter account got hacked. Apparently I was posting stock tips. If anyone acted on those tips, I hope you make lots of money.
