Sorry I can’t join you tonight but I want you folks to know how thankful I am for being chosen your fan of the year. After I retired I decided to move back to Gregory and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I’ve made many great friends and watching the Gorillas for the past 20 years has been a highlight of my life. Thank you, coaches and football players, for seeing me in the hospital and giving me a signed football helmet. As they say it’s a great day to be a gorilla. Your friend, Dewey
