Redneck Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My dad was a prof a Niagara when the Bills held training camp there. I was able to get into a few buildings that most could not. One summer, I met JoeD and we chatted about the Hardy Boy's book I was reading. The next summer, he remembered me. Just based on that, he would be mine. Then OJ for obvious reasons.

I was standing by the snow fence with my younger brother waiting for the players to come over after practice and sign autographs. I really wanted O.J.'s. and he walked up with Reggie McKenzie and signed my paper. I remember that they were laughing as they approached...Reggie must have said something that O.J. found funny because I remember hearing O.J. say, "Legit!" right before he got to the fence and gave us his autograph. That 43 year old memory is etched in my mind like it was yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even before NU, they held practice at the Treadway Inn (?) In Hamburg off the I90. It was there that I got Jack Kemp's autograph in the mid 60s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to several training camps at Fredonia State. My grandmother lived a few miles from campus down Brigham Road in Dunkirk. My sis and her bestie got a pic with Doug Flutie at the last camp there in 1999. The girls are both 5' 4" and swear they looked taller than he did. 😆 I have yet to make it to a training camp at St. John Fisher but hope to do so one day.
