his senior year in college — and was
on his way to the N.F.L. — that he
would learn the truth.
In a September 2007 article pub-
lished by The New York Times, David
Barrett said an uncle let the truth slip his college career had a total of 176
out during the 2000 reunion.
“It was a shocker,” Barrett told the
Times. “I had gone all my life trying
to figure out what actually happened.
Every time I’d ask somebody, they’d be
like: ‘Go ask him. Go ask her.’ They
kept pushing it around.”
Barrett and his sisters had been
taken in by their maternal grandpar-
ents, who’d raised nine of their own
children. By the time Barrett was
ready to enter ninth grade, his oldest
sister Kim Moss had just completed
her undergraduate degree at Hen-

Lake and he supports removing all
current brick pavers and replacing
them with new square bricks which
should lay flatter.
After Councilman Jim Boehnke
raised the question of what will hap-
pen to existing brick pavers if total
replacement is chosen, Tony Nelson
said he thought the mix of a PCC
walkway with new brick pavers and
reclaimed bricks may be the best op-
tion.
“That option looks attractive to
me,” he said. “It saves the (personal-
ized) bricks and $100,000.”
After Hugi’s motion to proceed
with all new brick pavers was de-
feated 4-1, the entire Council agreed
to table a decision until it can receive
input from the Chamber of Com-
Rollover closes I-35
A portion of Interstate 35 was briefly shut down Wednesday morning, April
13, after a single vehicle rollover accident just south of Clear Lake. The Clear
I-35 northbound just south of the Burchinal exit at mile marker 188. A white
cargo van attached to a flatbed trailer left the road and rolled multiple times,
landing on its wheels. Fire Department officials say they found one person was
lying on the side of the road, but they weren’t able to tell if he was thrown from
the vehicle or if he had crawled from the wreckage. The interstate was closed
for about 15 minutes to allow a Mercy Medical Center helicopter to land and
transport the victim to Mercy-North Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol was in charge

Throughout his cross-country

he entertained the fantasy that his
