The "Remember When" Thread

[jackrussell]

Remember when.....

You went up to Dad right after you got your licene and asked for the keys so you could drive down to see Gale Sayers inducted into the Pro Football HOF for FREE, right there on the front lawn up close and for the first time in your life seeing in the flesh a real live professional football player that was one of your first heroes and then be at a total loss of words when you get a chance to say a few words to him as he walked by cuz you were so enthralled being in his actual presence and then you drove home but had to put some gas in the car and 2 bucks did the job and you tell your Dad you just met Gale Sayers and he looks at you and says......................."You're late for dinner"

Sigh.

Well, no more folks, $50 for field level seat for an ENSHRINEMENT!!
