2 days in a row for The Professor! Today's mail brought me the autograph of former NHL goalie, Don Edwards. Don was a fantastic goaltender for 10 seasons with the Sabres, Flames, and Maple Leafs from 1976-1986. 1980 was his greatest, as he was an All-Star and won the Vezina Trophy along with his partner Bob Sauve.

He even autographed my letter to him! What a class act from one of the classiest players ever.

Nice one, Bob. John Lynch will most  likely get into the Pro Foootball Hall of Fame one day.

The envelopes keep on coming....today's mail brought me the autograph of former NHL defenceman, Phil Russell. Phil played 15 seasons with the Black Hawks, Flames, Devils, and Sabres from 1972-1987. He was an All-Star in 1976, 1977, and 1985, and was the Flames captain from 1981-1983.

Hi guys! Sorry that I haven't been around for a while. Got some new stuff in today, but I won't post pics until tomorrow.

Right now, I need to ask a favor:

Does anyone anyone have a good mailing address for Moises Arias of Hannah Montana fame?

Saturday brought me the autograph and a very sad note from Francis S. Currey, 1945 Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Mr. Currey is a true American treasure. He was in Malmedy, Belgium, when his platoon encountered a tremendous enemy attack. After being driven back and forced to retreat to an abandoned factory, Mr. Currey and his platoon faced defeat and almost certain death. Securing a bazooka he found laying around inside the factory, he and a fellow solider who provided cover fire criss-crossed the street, firing on and destroying one of the tanks and taking out 3 enemy soliders. He kept advancing to the enemy stronghold, which had taken over a nearby house and was firing upon Mr. Currey and his platoon. He fired one of the bazooka rockets he found earlier in that abandoned factory, and blew up part of the house, blowing out one of the walls. It was at this time, he noticed 5 American soliders who had been pinned down by the enemy fire from the house and could not escape. Mr. Currey crossed the street again to a vehicle where he found an armful of tank grenades, all the while being continuously fired upon. He crossed back over the street, and blew up the other 2 tanks that were still firing upon his platoon and the other 5 soliders. As the enemy tank members retreated into the occupied house, Mr. Currey climbed aboard a half-track in full view of the enemy forces inside the house, and unloaded upon the compound, killing and wounding some, and driving out the rest from their position. Because of this, those 5 soliders and Mr. Currey's platoon were saved and able to take cover and see another day.

As happy as I was to obtain this truly great American historical figure's autograph, I was deeply saddened by the note he sent along. I sent him a blank index card to use for the autograph, and he wrote on it, "Due to an unfortunate incident some time ago; I no longer autograph blank cards. Enclosed find two of my personal cards autographed. Francis S. Currey" Has somebody defrauded these great men in the past? That just breaks my heart. These men gave us so much to be thankful for, and for people to take advantage of them deeply saddens me. I think in my future letters to Medal of Honor recipients I'm going to mention that they don't have to use the index card if they do not want to.

Happy Columbus day everyone! I waited until today to post Saturday's ttm successes!

First, Stump Mitchel signed 3 of 3 for me and my son, Domenik.

Second, Cynthia Kallgren is running for Michigan Congress and had these sweet cards made up. I got one at a music festival that I went to. Not only did she sign my card, but she also sent me 5 more cards! Too bad that she didn't sign them! If anyone wants one of the unsigned ones, message me. I'll give you one for free. All you have to do is send me a sase. The address that I used for the autograph is on the back of the card.
