Lou and I want to formulate questions, goals, suggestions, etc. beforehand and send to the organizing committee so that duplication can be eliminated and areas of focus can be clearly identified. We won't have a lot of time and I'm sure many will be inclined to elaborate due to frustration and unique situations. Maybe a form to be filled out and turned in there or beforehand?

Dave,

When will we have an agenda? Lou and I want to formulate questions, goals, suggestions, etc. beforehand and send to the organizing committee so that duplication can be eliminated and areas of focus can be clearly identified. We won’t have a lot of time and I’m sure many will be inclined to elaborate due to frustration and unique situations. Maybe a form to be filled out and turned in there or beforehand?

But I will keep you all in my prayers, that you make some strides forward for the greater cause for the retired NFL players/NFL Gridiron Greats. DK DK Derek Kennard

Each one of you is making this happen. Upshaw told everyone that we would never be able to come together like this. So, "In your face, Gene, Tom, Kessler, Eli, Doug, Berttie, Trace, D. Smith and anyone else who has chosen to ride with those bandits. In your face!" I really, really hope that some of the folks from Gridiron Greats and the Alliance will attend as well. It's their Summit as much as anyone else's. They are welcome. Just as we played together when we were younger, not always agreeing with each other, we can do it again. No one of us is any more important than any other in our Movement. Wait until you see the full lineup of Experts who will be making presentations. It's the show that the NFLPA should have put on years ago. If you can, call someone else and get them on board. Bob Grant Bob Grant

I really, really hope that some of the folks from Gridiron Greats and the Alliance will attend as well. It’s their Summit as much as anyone else’s. They are welcome. Just as we played together when we were younger, not always agreeing with each other, we can do it again. No one of us is any more important than any other in our Movement.
