Hi There,

I was on Facebook chat with my 19-y-o son, and was telling him a story about my experience with Foreman Scotty. During the conversation, I googled his name and found your site. Thought you would get a grin out of this story, copied from my conversation with my son.

I now live in Texas and am SVP of a financial institution. I have met interesting people and traveled the world, but I still remember the FIRST important person I met at age 7. Here’s the copy of my chat with my son…

 

"Well, when we were little the closest tv station was okc...

and we religiously watched "foreman scotty," a local production kind of like the mickey mouse club, but with a western theme...

So foreman scotty came to our town for july 4...griff and i were sooo excitied....

FS was on the football field of the local college in weatherford, and we went down to get an autograph, with your uncle tom (age 2) in tow...

Well, about halfway across the field, tom decided he did not care about seeing FS, and sat down and refused to budge....
G and i were in charge of him ... we could not just leave him...
but we really wanted to get that autograph...tom had on overalls...

So i picked him up, kicking and screaming, by the back of his overalls and carried him like a suitcase to the center of the field, got the autograph, then started back...

i was the LAST kid to get an autograph, and as i started back, i was the ONLY kid left, with a football stadium of people watching me carry my (very mobile) human suitcase across the field.

I could hear the ROARS of laughter in the stands.
I wasn’t really embarrassed or sorry. Because I had FOREMAN SCOTTY’s AUTOGRAPH!!!
so anyway, that is why i got a kick out of sending griff a piece of history via facebook...

Foreman Scotty!!!"

 

Thanks for letting me share a memory!
