A former patron of the Benson Memorial Library in Titusville Pennsylvania who checked out by edited by former Green Bay Packers football player Jerry Kramer called "Lombardi: Winning Is The Only Thing" who checked out the book in the summer of 1973.
The former patron whose name and gender was not released returned the book back to the library around Wednesday November 18 with a donation to cover the fine even though the library stopped overdue in 2021.
Jessica Hilburn who is the executive director of the Benson Memorial Library is grateful that the patron returned the book of the late Green Bay Packers and the then Washington Redskins who is revered as one of the greatest professional football coaches of all time.
For the record I only knew of the late Vince Lombardi from documentaries on television that talked his success making the Packers a championship team winning the first two Super Bowls.

How great to get the book back to the library. I wonder if the Packers will win their game on Thursday.

That is a good question if the Packers can beat their division rival on Thursday.

That is true since the late football coach was known for molding football players into real men with good character off the field.

That is true since the message that the late football coach has meaning today even though Vince was labeled as a dictator for his coaching style.

It appears that the book was still in reasonable condition, and I wonder if the library will keep it, or sell it off.

The library intends to keep the book in the library for now.

I am in agreement with even though Vince coached football before my time his message was misunderstood that was obsessed with winning football game.
