The feeling is so neat when you find a fact that sort of clicks itself into the empty space in your memory cache and completes the picture. That happened to me this past weekend, due to a movie. Yes! Another movie. I stumbled across a movie on HBO titled, "The Express." I knew nothing about it. Never heard of it. I could tell it was a movie about football. Funny thing is... I am not at all a football fan, but I often enjoy watching football movies. Go figure. And, it had Dennis Quaid in it, so I settled in to watch it. I live about 50 miles east of the city of Elmira, NY. It's a pleasant enough city, but nothing really special to look at. There are a few things of interest to see there, but it doesn't have a real lot to recommend it. Except for the fact that for a smallish town, it has a lot of famous people who have ties to it in one form or another. In watching that movie, I learned of another one. There is a middle school in Elmira, that used to be called the Elmira Free Academy when it was the high school. When it became a middle school, it received a new name: Ernie Davis Middle School. I knew of it... had heard the name... even know a teacher who taught there. But, I never knew who Ernie Davis is or was. Until this past weekend. Finally... it all clicked into place. If there are some who don't know who Ernie Davis was, do a Google on him. Better yet, watch "The Express." You will be very glad you did.
