    Anxious Waiting, then Finally, a Knock on the Door: With Jerry Kramer for His Call to the Hall

    By: ANDY BENOIT ..... February 04, 2018

    " Fifty years after he hung up his cleats, and after 10 failed nominations, the Packers great received word that he’d been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Joy, relief and a night with family and friends followed"..... and here is this great story from Sports Illustrated.

    Please click on the LINK and I hope you'll enjoy reading this story as much as I did. I know we're all very happy to finally see Jerry Kramer inducted into the NFL HOF.

    It's all about this and the number of times us Old Packer Fans saw it executed..Jerry Kramer NO.64 and Ole Pal Fuzzy Thurston NO.63 and The Lombardi Sweep.

    You all know who the fella is back to wearing Jersey Number 15.

    Here's a question for Y'all:

    A.) Who's the Packer wearing NO. 22 in this Photo?

    B.) How long did he play for the Green Bay Packers?

    C.) Did he have a notable Career as a Green Bay Packer?

    D.)How was that Career recognized?

    E.) What became of this Green Bay Packer?

    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Kramer

    I cannot even properly explain how wonderful it was for me to see Jerry Kramer introduced Saturday Night as finally being in the Class of 2017 Season NFL HOFErs.

    To see that man manage to walk out before that Crowd and with Green Bay Packer GREAT and Packer and NFL HOFER Brett Favre standing right there to greet Mr.Jerry Kramer was way beyond awesome for this very long time Green Bay Packer fan.

    I was so very fortunate to see Jerry Kramer (and Fuzzy Thurston) too often lead the way and execute the now Famous 'Lombardi "Power' Sweep'.

    CONGRATULATIONS ! Jerry Kramer !

    Finally... you join all those other (Eleven) Great 1960's Vince Lombardi Coached Green Bay Packers in the NFL Hall Of Fame !
