??

I was a linebacker in high school......and I was (and remain) a big fan of the best linebacker to ever play the game....#66 of the GREEN BAY PACKERS (RAY NITSCHKE - HOF).

My coach (Coach Jerry Wonders) gave me that nick-name (team mates concurred) because I was not able to differentiate between “practice” and actual games. I hit everybody with the same ELAN. Just like my IDOL! Hence the “66” after my name.

Rather than going on to college I joined the MARINES (in 1969) and became an artillery gunner.

I hope that answers your question.

:-)
