The year's final issue of Coffin Corner is now up at the Members Only section, and the Vikings' Gary Larsen is on the cover. Here's the article lineup:

2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Photo Essay. by Mark Palczewski. Photographs from this year’s Hall of Fame Weekend in Canton, Ohio by the official photographer of the PFRA.

PFRA-ternizing. The results of the elections to the PFRA’s offices, a reminder to renew annual memberships and an update on the 1966 Green Bay Packers book being prepared for next year’s meeting, including a sneak peek at the cover.

Coffin Corner Extra Point. A new feature of the magazine that highlights the short-form research of our members. This installment is a brief look at the football career of former St. Louis Cardinals quarterback Tim Van Galder and the long wait he endured before actually starting.

The Ten Greatest Games Never Played: Part II by Ed Gruver. An entertaining look (continuing a 2002 article in Volume 24, Number 1) at the potential epic clashes between dominant teams in football history that might have occurred were it not for a simple twist of fate.

The Norse Nightmare: A Biography and Interview of Gary Larsen by Matt Reaser. An up-to-date profile of the Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle, a feared member of the team’s famed Purple People Eaters defense from the 1960s and 1970s.

"Always useful, especially this time of year. Thanks for putting it together, John."

Ditto... There have been many requests - and some offerings - for something of this nature over the past two years
and it could not have been done better.
The hope is John will expand it and make it a permanent part of Members Only and, with the incoming leadership,
that is certainly possible.
Again, more thanks for a great beginning...
