Football Footles
Thanks go out to all of the participants who joined in the football footle activity. Since soccer was the prelude to western football, some of the footles deal with soccer. Brian Strand developed the footle form which has been enjoyed by many. Thank you, Brian, for your creativity. --Carolyn
