It says something about the success of the Green Bay Packers that enough of its former players are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame to provide material for an entire book.
Green Bay is represented by 28 individuals in the hall, and Michael Jacquart's "Green Bay's Greatest: Profiles of the Packers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame" includes them all. Jacquart, who lives in Iola, said one reason for writing the book was to keep long-ago Packers fresh in fans' minds. And long ago is closer than you'd think.
"As the years go by, there are so many people who don’t even remember the Lombardi years any more," said Jacquart, a member of the Professional Football Researchers Association.
