You're old
I wonder how well attended this will be, most of the guys that go to see Charlie on the field are nearing 40 years old. I hope it is a success for him and the charity.

I remember hearing when we was down at the 85-86 Sugar Bowl Danny Noonan had been arrested in the French Quarter and kicked out the Plexiglass divider in the Police Car.
Anyone else hear that too?
