Every member is in attendance for today's meeting of the John's Journal Fan Club ...

Today is my final MSHSL sporting event as I fade off into the sunset (I will retire in August). In honor of this auspicious occasion, my family of weirdos surprised me and the rest of the universe by wearing shirts bearing mostly photos of me when I really rocked it in the 70s.

Thank you John!! All of your readers and friends have enjoyed your many stories. You will be missed!! Enjoy your next chapter!!

John Millea John, you have written so many inspirational stories on so many worthy people. You have the gift of storytelling. I smiled and felt good reading your stories. Thanks for lifting up the beauty of high school sports. Thank you!

A great week with 57 sophomores in Gettysburg/DC! Absolutely loved our time seeing our country! Class of 2028…..let it happen….trust the process.

This is one of my all-time favorite definitions of being a great teammate and a great human. Celebrate others. Root for their success. Be genuinely happy when good things happen to someone else. That’s what good people, and great teams, do.
