8. That one is hard to beat.... even with the Uuber-hero from
the War.

Dying trying to save others is noble.

Even if you exceed your limitations in doing so.

7. I miss this lesser-known guy:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/news/1998/07/02/montgomery_reax/

He was a customer of mine while he played for the Seahawks. He was always so nice and had a wonderful family. He used to buy gifts for his mom and always spent a lot of time choosing them. We have had lots of athletes shop in our store, but we were just devastated to hear he was diagnosed with ALS and subsequently died from it at age 31. :cry:

14. Of my two jobs....ones in sports memorabilia.
I've seen a couple of Nieztcke (sp?). It looks like the ones we've had.


For me it's Sweetness. But it won't be long before my favorite ATHLETE goes...Ali. At one point, the most popular figure....IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
