Where does the information come from?

The majority of my information was gathered through The Recorder archives, but several other sources were used as well, including:

Russ Held and Bill Wells of the Springfield Republican
Athol Historian Dick Chaisson
Longtime broadcaster and freelance writer George Miller
The Athol Daily News archives and sports writer Shane Covey
Athletes, coaches, athletic directors and fans from all eight local schools
