Mark O’Connell, author of the book “The Team the Titans Remember,” was at the Salem Museum Monday for a book signing and presentation.
The book is about the glory years of Andrew Lewis football from 1960 to 1971, and Monday’s event drew a large crowd of former Lewis players, graduates and sports fans in general. Above, the crowd is packed into the museum to listen to Mark talk about his experience writing the book.
