If it is indeed true that one person’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things, give longtime Nebraska football season ticketholder Beth Lueth, an Iowa native, proper credit for bringing Sam Kellogg’s astonishing legacy to life.
While Nebraska’s football team visits Oregon in Eugene Saturday, Lueth will be on the family farm in Iowa, counting her blessings after discovering a treasure chest of photos taken when her grandfather was a Husker end and traveled to Oregon State for a non-conference game in 1916.
The Huskers traveled on a Union Pacific train for that 17-7 win over Oregon State, and the trip took eight days of travel time.
