Catching a pass from Archie-- thats priceless, St Thomas. Was Saints Training Camp in Lafayette? So Burger Chef sponsored a promotion where kids could catch a pass from Archie, but who is Jeff? Did you play for ULL?

Thanks for the stories SaintLB. Always good, and dont worry about lenghth-- I'm passing time. You can tell Archie is a really good guy, the way he treats kids and regular schmos like you and me. enjoyed those much. I hope you still have the certificate from Irvin Favre. Im sappy, but that "you're a winner all the way" thing makes one a bit teary.

The only time I got close to Archie was at the (I need help here--) ?Riverside Hilton? Was that it? There was a club in '88 called the Who Dat Fan Club, and I think Pete Fountain was president. You got all kinds of neat stuff, key chains, that little white card, discounts from Travel-New-Orleans, etc. Well we had a party at the hotel ballroom--before the Broncos game?? , I think. Anyway Benson was there, and shook hands with the crowd, the Saintsations did a dance number, and then, of course
The Man himself--- Archie showed up to speak for our pep rally. I stood a few feet away, and was dazzled to see him, and also happy to see how the crowd reacted to him.

Also I was wearing a silly hat, and Moses grabbed my arm, and we did some funny dance. Saintsation Lori Carrol signed something for me. (the brunette with the hair down to her backside) I was completely in love with her.

I'm pretty sure it was the Broncos game--- because I remember it was a great weekend all around.
