[QUOTE="Croak, post: 576505, member: 2367"] Monday, December 7th, 2009. Two of my sons took me on a road trip to GB as a Christmas present and to fulfill part of my bucket list. I have a progressive, chronic incurable (but not fatal) disease which had mostly destroyed all my hopes of ever seeing the Pack. Then my boys came through. We went early and took in a couple days of Green Bay, the hall of fame, field tour, Bart Starr tailgate party. I met Fuzzy Thurston and found him to be a man with a great spirit. He signed a T-Shirt for me that said I tailgated with him. LOL. We also ran into Dave Robinson when he was all alone. He let my boys hold his Super Bowl rings. Then he signed a book for me that said I was a "true Packer fan". (When I walked into the room to ask him if he was indeed Dave Robinson, he saw that I was wearing a Bart Starr jersey and said; "Now THAT was a REAL quarterback.") These guys were some of my heroes in the 60's when the Packers were my youth obsession and I couldn't believe how gracious, kind and humble they were. The game was a fiasco penalty wise, but the Pack came out on top. It was really really cold that night.
