Had An Epic Night With Some Packer Legends

One of them was Jerry Kramer, a friend of mine. He is an NFL Hall of Famer. Another legend I met was NFL Hall of Famer Dave Robinson. This was a Boys and girls club fundraising event in Sturgeon Bay. Jerry has just co-authored a book with Bob Fox and Triumph Books,”Run To Win.” I am honored that I received a signed copy of the book as well as a poster which Jerry signed for me. It was a great day for me during a tough year It feels good to smile again.

I met Sue Jordan at Jerry’s PFHOF induction in Canton. That was quite a trip!
