Kris and Lyssa's Great Goal Rush
Follow the completion of our yearly bucket list.

In this case, I wanted to pay my respects to Gerry Bertier, member of the 1971 TC Williams Virginia State Championship football team. The story surrounding that football team was later made into the movie, "Remember the Titans." This movie just … Continue reading Go to Gerry Bertier’s Gravesite
