| It all started in the small western Iowa town of Dunlap with Sam Cogdill(a Purina farm supply store owner) and his wife Sue(a science teacher) and a few close friends and family. So you have the Purina red and white checkerboard and a teacher's check mark. It's very simple. It's not Team Picnic, tablecloth, checkerboard, Pizza Hut or Team V'R..... IT'S TEAM CHECKER!!!...... SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!!! |
