Hello WikiTreers!
The thirteenth WikiTree Challenge of 2022 is over. Our guest star was Archie Griffin, who is known as one of the best college football players of all time. He is the only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, and went on to play seven seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The week officially began on Thursday, June 30 at noon EDT (4pm UTC) and ended at noon EDT (4pm UTC) on Thursday, July 7 (you can use World Time Buddy or another time converter to find out your local time).
Tidbits from Archie:
At a family reunion, they said that our family was a major contributor to building Wytheville. At that time, it was white and black relatives. Cousin Monroe, way back, had some connection to that. That whole Whitfield thing was big when talking about Aunt Blanche, so you might need to do some digging around there.
Mindy: You just never know what you are going to find, do you? Archie: Nope, you don't. That's what's going to be interesting about this!

(The brothers remember different) ...this is why we need your [WikiTrees] help, Mindy!
