... that Forest Van Hook was so large that he had to buy two tickets when attending sports events? Source: Mount Pulaski Historical Society ("Van Hook frequently attended U of I football and basketball games. He always had two tickets, since he weighed more than 300 lbs.")
Overall: Interesting hook; good work on the article! ~ TailsWx 03:01, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
@Tails Wx: Thanks for the review. I also added an image to the nom; not sure if it'd be good or not - but figured I might as well give the option. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Oh, I also approve the image as well–it's in public domain and should be okay to use. I somehow overlooked the image. ~ TailsWx 03:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Seeing his actual size was a letdown. 6ft tall and 300lbs is not large any more. Bruxton (talk) 00:29, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
