Date: February 11, 2025 – Leominster Public Library in Partnership with CMGS – VIRTUAL MEETING
Speaker: Thomas MacEntee – Escape Room – “The Case of Lou Little”
Accidentally, you are locked in at the Leominster Public Library after hours. It seems that you fell asleep in a cubicle while researching the history of college football in the United States. Your current research subject is Leominster native Luigi Piccolo – better known as Lou Little – famed college football coach during the 1920s and 1930s. Can you figure out Little’s real birth name and his connection with the Heisman Trophy?
You MUST complete your research on Lou Little by answering a set of questions related to the genealogy and family history of Lou Little. USE THIS FORM AT https://forms.gle/grs3BLrombmexRQH6
Sharpen those research skills by researching NOW and then participate in this unique genealogy education event!
NOTE: You are allowed to use ANY online sites for GENEALOGY research; most clues can be found on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com and FamilySearch at https://www.familysearch.com. And if you “cheat” by simply using Google to find information, you are only cheating yourself out of an amazing story of an amazing man.
