Having been introduced to the Packers by my dad when Lombardi walked the sidelines, there are MANY great memories.

His job is to shed light and not to master

In hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold

Oh man love this topic.  Favorite memory of meeting famous Packers was my junior high football banquets.  The speaker one year was Bart Starr and the other year was Ray Nitschke.  Nitshcke said where are the linebackers!  I played LB so I got my picture taken with Ray but sadly the picture got ruined by water whne the roof leaked.

Favorite games:

Super Bowl 31 I am man enough to admit I cried like a baby when they won it all.  I am too young to remember the Lombardi years (born in 66) and having lived through the dark years I never thought I would see it.

NFCG over Carolina.  I was honestly floored they made the Super Bowl

Beating the Steelers in the Super Bowl.   Man that team was good and in its prime

Bears game in the monsoon on MNF

Chester Marcol scoring.  We were all jumping up and down for that one

Freeman with that wild catch against the Spermheads.  "he did what?!"  Call from Al Michaels was awesome.

And on the theme of sharing Packers memories with my dad.  When I left for the military and was overseas my dad would tape the games and send them to me every week.  This was in the days before the internet so those tapes still bring me great memories.  Also, listening to the games on the radio when we were working on the farm.  We couldn't always take the time to sit and watch but loved listening.

"You're listening to the Green Bay Packers Radio Network"

We listened on the way home from duck/goose/pheasant hunting most Sundays in the Fall.
