Growing up in Bowling Green, Bob Mahaffey would go to Carter Park with his buddies and make films.
"Just silly stuff," he said, like a spoof of the television show "M*A*S*H."
These juvenile productions would get their premieres on the Mahaffey family's Brownie film projector.
After graduating from Elmwood in 1980, he went on to study business at Bowling Green State University, graduating in 1984, and going to work for CompuServe.
Mahaffey, 51, is the founder, president and CEO of Xcelerate Media, an e-learning company.
Still "my dream was always to make a movie."
Then a few years ago he was at a family gathering and heard the story of the 2005 Gibsonburg High baseball team that after going 6-17 in the regular season, won eight straight games to win a state title. It was the only team in the state ever to do that.
