Guest Guest Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 need it for a piece I am writing about them celebrating their 40th anniversary.
Reverendod Posted November 11, 2004 Author Posted November 11, 2004 I have been trying to contat everyone from Billy Shaw to Cookie Gilchrist , even Keith Lincoln, but I have not gotten to far. Looking for any references or contact, or just good stories about the game from anyone. Thanks for any posts! ~O'D

You should be able to get their e-mail address from the Bills website.

Last I knew, he was near me in the Philly area. Don't expect him to talk much about the "good times" with the Bills, but more about his bitterness towards the Bills and the NFL. I purposely avoided an interview with him, because I knew it would get ugly.

I purposely avoided an interview with him, because I knew it would get ugly. 112869[/snapback] Yeah - I remember Denny Lynch speaking at a Booster Club meeting over the summer, when he was telling us about the reunion for the Alumni Day game. People asked him whether either Gilchrist or Lou Saban were invited; he said everyone had been invited, but he sincerely doubted Cookie would show up. Considering everything that happened during his short-but-turbulent tenure here, and that he still considers Ralph Wilson a "slave-owner", I have to agree with Ken - if you're looking for positive memories of that season, you probably won't find them talking to Gilchrist. At any rate, reverendod, you can get his e-mail address at his website - www.cookiegilchrist.com. If you don't already have it, here's a link to a Larry Felser story about the '64 team that includes a list of surviving players and where they're at. http://www.livingprimetime.com/AllCovers/Oct2004/Bills.htm But like Ken said, your best bet is to contact the Alumni Chapter - I'm sure guys like Booker Edgerson, Al Bemiller, and Charley Ferguson would be more than happy to talk to you. And if you make it to any home games, you're more than likely to find them in the fieldhouse before the game... Can't find Billy Shaw's mailing address right at the moment, but he'd be a great interview, too. Class act all the way. Good luck, and we look forward to reading your story!
Astrobot Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 You might want to brush up on your grammar, too. two is the number. too means also or too many. to is the preposition, as in "to the book-burning".

I think they have word-processing programs that do that.

Ernie Warlick is also an excellent person to talk with, and very approachable. I have talked with them on many occasions.
TigerJ Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 So, Reverendod, are you the Reverend Dodd I know? If so, I didn't know you were a Bills fan.
