Re: Nice article on Bills legend Tom Sestak
I loved Sestak. A few years ago when I went to visit my grandmother's grave, I was surprised to see his big, fancy headstone in the same small cemetary as her's. In South Wales, NY, where I grew up.Last edited by Jan Reimers; 02-01-2012, 03:08 PM.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

While Butch Byrd was my favorite as a kid, you had to love the Sestaks, Doles, Gilchrists and Dubenions (sp) . Those sixties teams created my love for the game.

I met Sestak many times and his autographed pic still hangs in the side room of my house, next to those of George Saimes, Jack Kemp & Billy Shaw.
For some of us, this is how we first loved football and those AFL games were some of the best memories of my childhood. I can still smell those peanuts and hear that echo pa system from the old rockpile at Jefferson & Best. Walking up the ramp to the seats our family had, 20 rows up on the 40 yard line. Had to see Lance Alworth and the Chargers every time they came. And there was Sestak, bringing the heat off the end.
The best years of our lives...Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
