Green Bay Packers Foundation and Aaron Meyer

Aaron had a way of exclaiming his happy surprise that went something like: NOaoaohwhww! I think that's a reasonably close spelling of what was more a sound than a word. His eyebrows would raise, or at least the left one, and his eyes would smile. Aaron's mouth formed a big "O". NOAOAOHwhww...long and drawn out. The press conference at Lambeau Field where it was announced that the Green Bay Packers Foundation had awared the Aaron Meyer Foundation a grant for the Aaron House project would cause Aaron to break out his signature sound.

John Blaha and I made the trip to receive the check. John, known as FJ around Lambeau, gets the red carpet treatment for giving 20 years of his life to the Packers. The stories he can tell... you'll have to talk to John.

Air-bear, you made it to the Packers. Because you lived the life you lived, and inspired the people you inspired, the Packers cut you a check. You're one of chosen few. True story Air-bear. True story.

Thank you to everyone who gave time, money, expertise, and prayers to the Aaron Meyer Foundation. Your efforts are validated by the organization that sets the standard for excellence.
