There are early references to the Packers starting in 1918. Why haven t you bought in?
Glad you asked. And not only are you correct about those early references to 1918, but the person who wrote them was George Whitney Calhoun, co-founder of the Packers. Obviously, what he had to say can t be dismissed with anything less than overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Thus, I m guessing that I ve spent upwards of 100 hours, maybe double that, researching the subject. After all, what s more historically important for the Packers than getting our birth date and age right? Anyway, I ll try to condense my volumes of research on this subject to an answer of reasonable length and let you draw your conclusions.
