[QUOTE="Govoner Vaugn Fan, post: 1265065, member: 521306"] Normal, but grew up in Moultrie county. Watched the Illini as a little kid in the early fifties when we got our first TV. I remember the Chief at half time, and wondered why Illinois had an (native American) symbol. I thought, due to all the Westerns on TV that those folks all were from Texas or Kansas. My H.S. teacher father would then give me lectures on the rich native history of Illinois. Thanks to the Chief, I became a bit of an amateur historian of early Illinois history. Still miss him. Due to the Chief, I have a fair knowledge of, and a high degree of respect for our native population.[ [/QUOTE]
