Mark Bodanza is not only an author and historian, but a great speaker with lots of interesting antedotes. He talks about the local high school football rivalry dating back to the 1890's.
If you love football, if you played football, if you went to Fitchburg High or Leominster High, you'll want to come out and learn more.
