Hank “should” be around 52 if memory serves. He is alive as of a year ago. Venmo me $25 and I’ll share his #.
Hank and I run a little security business together.

Didn’t even try to guess my name.

Mentally or physically? There's..... well, there's a gap there.

It doesn't make any difference. If my golf ball lands in any hole, it is a "hole in one". The perfect cure for my non-existent golf game. 
As far as poster age goes, from a Packers fan standpoint I timed my existence on this planet poorly. I was conceived about 10 months after Green Bay’s Super Bowl II victory over the Raiders. I was born maybe a month or so before Vince Lombardi began his very short stint coaching the Washington Redskins.
To sum it up, I was born in 1969 and am currently 54, so I missed the whole Lombardi era in Green Bay but was alive for the entire 1970s and 1980s experience as a Packers fan. I guess the good thing about those years, they made me appreciate some of the excellent football that came after those dark times.
@ammo posted:Just heard about a friend of mine, age about 75, farmed most of his life, tough as hell. Lived alone after a divorce. In the past couple of weeks he fell at home and from piecing things together they figured he laid about 4 or 5 days. His brother found him when nobody had heard from for a while. Now in a nursing home, may never return home. I need to stop and see him soon.
Well thanks for the prayers guys. Just read on a local funeral sight that he passed away on Monday. I was planning on visiting him on Friday (tomorrow). They are having a celebration of life in mid Jan.
That is sad Ammo. The older I get the more I think about that button that goes around your neck so that you can call parametics. You just never know.
There are metrics for that type of call.

No metrics for ‘Mercian’s !

Born in 1961 but my experience is same as yours. No memory of Lombardi years, only suckitude until 1992 (although the Dickey, Lofton, Jefferson, Coffman offense was fun). First real memory of NFL was Chiefs-Vikings Super Bowl.

That’s cool, I was too young to remember Super Bowl 4. My first game that I definitely remember watching from beginning to end was Super Bowl 12, the Roger Staubach led Cowboys blowing out the Broncos. I began watching the Pack regularly the next season in ‘78. Alot of the other kids my age were Cowboys fans, I am glad I went in a different direction fandom wise. 😀

Those buttons are so valuable if someone will wear them. My mother in law is in bad shape and falls all the time but will only occasionally wear her button. One excuse she had was that the lanyard was dirty so she didn't wear it and sure enough she fell and laid there for 24 hours before someone found her.
As for my age as a Packers fan I was born a few months before Super Bowl 1 so I have no memories of the Lombardi years. My first vague Packer memory was when Lombardi passed away and the 1972 team. So my strongest memories are the wonderful 1970s and 1980s Packers. So as someone else said that makes me appreciate the good times we have had as fans for the last 30 years.

This is a true event. I was at home with my parents for a few days. One morning after I woke up, the phone rang. I went out in the hall to see if mom was up, but the door was closed so I figured she wasn't. So I answered it and it was her help line, is there a problem with my mom? What could they do to help? Was any assistance needed? I said I didn't know of a problem, so I asked them to wait while I went to knock on her door. She answered immediately. I told her who was on the phone (no cell phones in her house yet) and asked if there was problem. She laughed, then she said she was doing some stretching exercises, and rolled over on her button. Said she was fine. So I relayed the information to the help line people. They took more information on who I was, then said good bye. It occurred to me there should be more phones in the house after that. But she had a button.

I was also born in 1969. I can vaguely remember John Hadl playing and the adults groaning whenever he threw an interception when I was 6 years old in 1975. I remember the Brewers when they had Hank Aaron (1976). First memory of the Bucks is also 1976 when Quinn Buckner was playing for them. My first college sports memory is my father waking me up to watch the last 2 minutes of Marquette's national title win in the 1977 basketball finals. He said you should be sure to remember this when you get older. These things don't happen very often.

I don’t know what they cost compared to an Apple Watch but you could use that instead of you don’t like the necklace device.
The sons father in law had a close call a few weeks ago when the FIL went out on the front porch to pick up an Amazon package that was delivered to their house. The FIL who is in his late 80s took a spill and went down hard. He hit his head on what we assume was the cement and couldn't get up. LUCKILY the daughter in law ( who was at work ) just happened to check the doorbell cam via her cell phone and saw him on the ground. She called an ambulance right away then called me to see if I could go help ( I live about a mile away ) It was a cold day ( 20s and windy ) so I hauled ass over there knowing time was of the essence due to potential hypothermia issues. I beat the ambulance by about 5 minutes and was able to get the FIL on his feet , back in the house and do a quick assessment = no severe bleeding or obvious broken bones.
Long story short is that he was wearing his medical alert necklace ( I don't know which brand ) It was set to alert the powers that be if a fall was detected VS pushing a button to summon help but for whatever reason the necklace failed to notify anyone about the fall. Thank Christ the daughter in law just happened to see that her dad had fallen and was able to get help. The son/DIL have now switched both parents over to a wrist watch style medical alert device.
Anyhow, I always thought those medical alert devices were pretty reliable but nothing is ever foolproof I guess. As for the FIL. He spent a few hours at the hospital where they got him squared away and sent him back home that evening. Save for a little memory loss he is doing really well.
I was born New Years Eve 1960. I barely remember the late 60s Packer teams.
My neighbor lady had a medical alert device. Fell and broke her hip. For some reason the device was taken off of her and put in a kitchen drawer when she went to the hospital and rehab.
The lowlife kid who lived between us decided to go on a crime spree and broke into houses. He got into hers one night and was looking for drugs I imagine. Got into the drawer with the life alert and pushed the button! Here come the cops and an ambulance!
WTF he think it was going to do? Open a secret passage way to golden treasures?
Thank God for dumb criminals.
I was 11 when I watched Starr's sneak that sent GB to the Super Bowl. It was dang cold in Sullivan, too.
No, I don't wear a medical device.

I read your comments and got hung up on "What's a Lanyard". Had to google it. Never knew that was what it was. I thought it was just a cool Key chain teenage kids wear hanging out their pockets.
