Even after meeting all these players I have had the chance to correspond through the mail with some.. After a couple attempts to get Gene Pepper (1950-1953) to sign my 52 throwback mini helmet. I wrote him and asked for permission to send it. He said no problem he would be happy to sign it.. Anyway after sending it to him and getting it back I told him i would love to hear some of the stories from the old days. I enclosed my number and asked him to call even he was ever bored.. well weeks had passed after receiving my helmet back signed.. I came home from work one night and my wife said a Gene Pepper had called. She not knowing who he was just thought it was someone from work. He left his number and I got up the nerve to call. We had a great conversation for about 15 minutes telling me of the old days playing with Sammy Baugh and Eddie Lebaron. told me what it was like playing for Curly Lambeau. It was a great experience hearing some of the stories..

A class guy for doing that.
