A buddy of mine who lived near the river in GF has a similar story. Back in 1965 the Twins put out a set of black and white pictures (5 x 7's I think they were) of all the players from the 65' team. He had the whole complete set stored in the rafters of his garage. Water was over the roof before he thought of them.
Pierre McGuire just gave some air time to Grand Forks as he ended interview with T. Zajac after the former Sioux's OT winner against Florida. Maybe Jones was watching.
