Some random thoughts. My father had season tickets from these first year. One of my brothers friends was Pat McGroder, they went to St. Joe's together, his father was one of Ralph's original partners. They had a Lincoln Continental with the Bills Logo painted on the sides. I remember after a game at the Rock Pile, going to a smorgasbord at The Lord Amherst (I think) and meeting all the players. I got all their autographs on a football. I played with it so much all the autographs wore off. We use to go to the Goalpost restaurant on Egart Rd. It was owned by Glenn Bass and I can't remember who else. It all had such a small town feel, that team belonged to the community. What a great fan base it was and still is.
First dumb move was trading Cookie, I was twelve and even I knew it was stupid.
