Friday brought me the autograph of Medal of Honor recipient, John Baca. Mr. Baca received the Medal of Honor in 1971, for his actions from February 10, 1970, when he heroically covered a grenade with his steel helmet, then covered the helmet with his body, absorbing the blast and saving the lives of 8 men. He is truly a remarkable man. I made 3 custom cards; one for me, one for my dear friend Sgt. Brad Mercier of the U.S. Army, and one for Mr. Baca to keep. Mr. Baca signed all 3, and also sent along 3 of his MOH Society bullions. Those will be going to Brad, along with the autographs.

Also on Friday, the mail brought me the autograph of Derek Schmidt, former kicker for Florida State University from 1984-1987. Derek was an All-American all 4 years at FSU, and when his college career was over, he was the NCAA's all-time leading scorer.

Also, just want to apologize to Tommy John for my comments Tuesday. Did not know it was the ex-wife behind the bush-league practice of charging for forgeries. The "not even a HOFer!" comment was bush-league on my part. 288 career wins is nothing to sneeze at, and I hope he one day makes it in. I'm sorry, Tommy, in case you ever read this.

Hey Robert, mind me asking what address you used for Carl Lewis? I got a success from him last year with a Colorado address. Be willing to give you that if that's not the address you used.
