More Info


Nina Morgan holds the 1977 "Forget Me Not” poster that showed a picture of her husband, Francis. It was used to sell memorial poppies. She stands with a marker that was placed at the ballpark in honor of Francis. By gary crow, for the oklahoman "He loved NEO football. He never missed a game. We traveled from Savannah, Georgia, to California to watch NEO football.”
