For years, Jerry has wanted to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton and his wish was finally granted. We arrived at the Hall about 4:00 p.m. and security allowed us to park the RV in their parking lot so we could be first in line at opening today. We met Lou, the greeter who gave us some tips on seeing the Hall and then sent us on our way. My only problem with the displays was that they did not give enough attention to the “Team of the 80s.”
Anyway, we wandered through the Hall for about three hours and even Anna Lee enjoyed herself. Lou also told us how to get tickets for the induction ceremony next year because that will be when Jerry Rice will be eligible as will Emmett Smith. I guess we will just have to come back next year.
And yes, for those of you who don’t believe it, Anna Lee did drive several times on this trip. Here she is spinning down the highway. Don’t let the white knuckles fool you, she was really relaxed.
Anna Lee adds:
Obviously, this was Jerry’s choice. It is hard to admit but he was right. The NFL Hall of Fame is worth a visit. As a “fair weather fan,” I found it interesting and informative. The tributes to Jim Thorpe, an early pro football player, were touching.
They did need more 49er highlights, but that is personal prejudice. I was reluctant to see the 2009 Road to the Superbowl movie and wound up enjoying it. In fact, I think all Superbowls should be like that, seventeen minutes of the games’ most tense moments. It was fun to look out our window and watch a group of kids playing a pick-up game on the field alongside the parking lot. And I think we ought to come back to see Jerry Rice installed, as I knew he was destined for greatness from his very first season.
