Ross Barnes--the pride of Mt Morris NY
Had the chance to visit Mt Morris over the weekend--a lovely and scenic part of NY state if you haven't been there. While there I came across a small park in the town that contained a memorial to the memory of Ross Barnes, a native of Mt Morris. It is a beautiful memorial to his life and recounts much of his history and record as one of the true greats of the early game. The construction and dedication of the memorial was spearheaded by Gary Passamonte, a long time Net 54er. It is a wonderful memorial to one of the early greats of the game that is all too forgotten by many of us and for all of that work I say "Well done Gary"
