Who's the coolest that you met??

Even after meeting all these players I have had the chance to correspond through the mail with some.. After a couple attempts to get Gene Pepper (1950-1953) to sign my 52 throwback mini helmet. I wrote him and asked for permission to send it. He said no problem he would be happy to sign it.. Anyway after sending it to him and getting it back I told him i would love to hear some of the stories from the old days. I enclosed my number and asked him to call even he was ever bored.. well weeks had passed after receiving my helmet back signed.. I came home from work one night and my wife said a Gene Pepper had called. She not knowing who he was just thought it was someone from work. He left his number and I got up the nerve to call. We had a great conversation for about 15 minutes telling me of the old days playing with Sammy Baugh and Eddie Lebaron. told me what it was like playing for Curly Lambeau. It was a great experience hearing some of the stories..

A class guy for doing that.

Some were genuine nice guys others could have cared less that I spent an hour waiting in line to meet them. But through them all I would have to say Pat Fischer was by far the nicest and coolest that I have met.
He really seemed to care that you took the time to come out and meet him and was so personable telling stories of the Glory days with George Allen and the gang.

How was Krause at the event last week?

It was great for getting in and out there was hardly anyone there. I felt bad for the school trying to raise money. I told the guy he needed to do a better job of advertising.

I got 2 of my 1964 team pictures signed by him and a spear throwback mini.
