Alabama legend Major Ogilvie signed my card and sent me a daily devotional card that had a verse that Bear Bryant kept in his wallet. I had written in my letter about my Dad’s love of Bear Bryant. Even though I am a Irish fan I would sit there on Saturdays when I was kid with my Dad and watch the Tide play. He would always try to get me by saying, and The Crimson Tide Rolls On! It drove me crazy. After I had moved out I would always try and go by to watch Alabama with him on Saturdays. Up until his death in 1990 he still said The Crimson Tide Rolls On every Saturday we were watching. It’s funny how something that drove me crazy as kid made me smile in my late teens and early twenties and now I would give anything to hear it. Love You Dad. Anyway, sorry about that. A little sentimental moment. The Pro success is from ex-Broncos WR Vance Johnson. Vance signed my card and included a card of his own. On the back of the return envelope he wrote “added 2nd card thanks” He then signed it included his number and added God Bless. That’s all for now, GOD BLESS!!!
