As you all know, I have been a BIG promoter and supporter of this Redskins Reunion from last year till now. It was a great event last year at the Frederick county fairgrounds, with Dave Butts, Art Monk, Charles Mann, Pat Fischer, Tony McGee and Darrell Green, but this year they moved it to the J Bar W Ranch not far from Frederick, MD.
J Bar W Ranch is a BIG supporter of the charity PPF INC.
Appearing this year was Monk, Mann, Butts, Fischer, along with Mark Moseley, Ron McDole, Ken Harvey and Roy Jefferson. When we (the wife and I) got there this year, we could see that this will be a little different from last year.
Boy, were we in for a surprise.
After arriving, we met up with Pez and Huly and Monkster from CPND. We started out eating at the hog roast, and then we waited for the autograph session. Debbie (the lady who runs this event) came out and told us over the PA that because some people from last years reunion SOLD their autographs on E-BAY, their was going to be NO autograph session this year.
Boy, that was a BIG disappointment.
Heck, except for the few photos I got of the players sitting in the VIP tent, that would be the ONLY fan interaction we would get from them this year.
Last year, not only did they sigh autographs, but also each player spent some time talking to everyone.
Monkster had to make another donation to the charity just so she could get an autograph and the pic I took of her with Art Monk
I can’t blame the players for not signing. They went out of their way to do this charity event. They did it to help cancer patients, not for people to profit from selling their autographs.
All I got to say is, that ANYONE who did sell them on E-Bay, you can go eff'n rot in He!!.
My appologizes to Pez, Huly, Monkster and anyone else who came out for this year's event. It was TOTALLY different from last years. Just check out my pics from 2004.
I will NOT be attending next year’s event.
