Amy Kanney stood on West Bancroft Street not only enjoying the University of Toledo’s Homecoming Parade but also reminiscing about how she met her husband. She watched the Rocket Marching Band with her daughter Elise, 9, remembering her time as a student majoring in English and the memories she made with the man whom she would be married to 15 years and two children later.

A Toledo native’s book about a Alfred “Weird Al” Yankovic album is set to be released Nov. 12.
