But on Sept. 13, 1848, while using explosives to prepare Vermont's craggy terrain for track, he suffered a hideous accident. Briefly distracted, the 25-year-old foreman triggered a premature explosion that launched a pointed iron rod, thick as a broomstick, right through his skull. The rod rocketed through his face, excising...
...could forget the great Burlington (Vt.) State dynasty of the early seventies? The Bangor (Me.) Icicles powerhouse which year-in, year out could hold Michigan to under 120 points during March Madness? And the UMass-Concord Grapes, winners of two of the last three NE9 automatic bids...
