Hofer and Davis did the boundary surveying for the Foundation when they purchased the property at State Road 37 and Coliseum.... and the Fort Wayne (IPFW) Mastodons had their biggest basketball victory last night beating Indiana University (Ranked #3 in the country) in overtime at The War Memorial Coliseum! Congrats to the "Dons"!
