What direction are you from Peoria? I'm about 70 miles, or so, NW of Peoria. There are some guys that are closer to the area, though.

Ok. I've been to Stark County once or twice to watch high school football games, when I went to Warren.

If he delivers actually in Monmouth, probably not. I live a couple miles out of town, now. Who's your brother? If he lives around here, there's a chance I'd know who he is. Monmouth is a pretty small town afterall.

If he's a high school ref, I've probably had him ref a couple of my basketball games, when I was high school. The name does sound a little familiar. Was it on the corner of 3rd and Broadway? I think there's apartments there now.
