So...1 year ago I was able to attend a fundraiser at Rosary High School in Aurora. Kurt Becker, one of Ditka's linemen is a coach at Marmion Military Academy in Aurora as a brother school. Kurt got Mike to speak about life, persistence. Needless to say, on the way out I tackled the coach and was able to get this picture. Let me just say that was more than gracious with his time. Glad to have a picture...even from a hard core PACKER BACKER!
Larry - What is he hiding behind hisback?! LOL That is really cool that you (A cheesehead - LOL) got a pic with Iron Mike Ditka!
Bygones being bygones, you both are looking good there, and comfortable too. Always liked Ditka's candor on and off the field.
Larry I was looking at the photo and thinking the man with you looked familiar, read your post I now know why. Great photo.
Larry, That is a cool photo! You didn't tell him that you are a Packer Backer did you?
Hall of Fame Coach next to a Superstar Loan Officer-It doesn't get better than this. That was nice of Coach Mike Dikta to take a picture with you. Thanks for sharing. Great post.
Larry, I think you are twisting the man's arm behind his back...lol! Great opportunity for you.
Great picture! I hope you frame that baby! You might want to start a collection!
Cool...I always think of that old SNL skit with farley...remember that one, when they are all in the bar, eating sausages, and farley hits his chest? DA BEars!
Larry, what a day to remember...good thing you were able to get this picture and capture the moment!
