Turtle Creek Hero

Today we spent some time with Mr. Patrick T. Lanigan the funeral director of Lanigan Funeral Home. He was quite the expert of the local history of the town of Turtle Creek. The photo above is of Leon Hart who is a graduate of Turtle Creek High and was the only player to win 3 national championships in college and 3 more in the NFL; won his titles at Notre Dame (1946-47,49) and with Detroit Lions (1952-53,57); 3-time All-America and last lineman to win Heisman Trophy (1949); All-Pro on both offense and defense in 1951.


ps. There is some local chatter about a turtle store being opened by year's end.
