Note: One of the highlights of my time in Port Huron has been serving as beat writer for the former Port Huron Pirates of the Continental Indoor Football League for two years. Some of these guys had some stories to tell. My favorite profile was of Wael Jarbou, an offensive lineman from Iraq. From July 5, 2006.
Seated in McMorran Arena's promotional "Best Seat in the House," Wael Jarbou of the Port Huron Pirates recounted his long and arduous journey from Iraq to the Blue Water Area.
There were the dirt fields he played in when he was 9 years old in northern Baghdad, enemy fighter jets patrolling the skies above.
