His mom lived in Daytona Beach. A mutual friend told her I was a Bills fan. I was invited over to her house when Lonnie was in town. She had me help move furniture with him. True story.
Parents moved from Batavia down to Florida in 1980. I was 5. I'm an hour from Jacksonville, 2.5 hours from Tampa and 4 hours from Miami. Wouldn't dream of rooting for any team other than the Bills.
