Just spent a couple of days in Canton, Ohio honoring the incoming member of the Pro Football Hall of Football. While I do attend induction ceremonies most years, this year was different. As a way to help raise funds for the United Way of Florence County, South Carolina. (This is the United Way that supports causes in my home area.) I offered myself to serve as a “Host” to anyone the United Way could find and would be willing to make a sizable donation to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame for induction weekend. The uniqueness of this offer was by being my guests they were able to get past the “velvet ropes” to experience what the Hall of Famers were able to do. I think this was the first time this “once in a lifetime experience” has happened.

The winners of this experience were Tony & Deb Montone from Florence, South Carolina. They were a tremendous couple who I’m certain had the thrill of a lifetime.
