[QUOTE="J.A., post: 723422, member: 12438"] I was born and raised in Eau Claire. I remember one time when I was a little kid (this would have been in the mid- to late-60's) and my older brother drew all of the football helmets and colored them in and was showing them to my dad as he sat in his favorite chair. Being an annoying little brother, I butted in and said, "I want to see!" Being a typical older brother, he yelled something like, "Get out of here!" Being a dad, my dad said, "Let him look at it. He just wants to see it." As I was admiring my brother's work, my dad asked me, "Which one is your favorite?" and I immediately pointed to the Packer helmet. My dad then said, "That's my favorite, too." I remember being so proud that I had the same favorite team as my dad! To be honest, I probably just picked the Packers helmet at that stage of my life because it was yellow, which was (and still is) my favorite color. But that night, a love affair began that has lasted nearly five decades and is showing no sign of fading any time soon. As a kid growing up, the walls of my room were plastered with any newspaper or magazine article, or any cartoon, or even just any mention of the Packers (I even would cut the listings out of the TV Guide after the week was over). As an adult, I have had a dedicated "Packers room" every where I've lived for the past 25+ years. So basically, I don't ever remember not being a Packers fan and I can't ever envision a point in my life when I won't be a Packers fan. [/QUOTE]
