THE WINNING TICKET in the second SAFE FoundationDrawing provided a great experience for Dick Doyle,

systems control analyst for Iowa State University inAmes. The package Doyle won was an expense-paid tripfor two to Canton, Ohio, to join in the Pro Football Hall

of Fame's 2002 Enshrinement Weekend celebration. Father of threesons, Doyle decided not to play favorites by choosing "just one" to joinhim for the trip. Instead Doyle's co-worker, Todd Boyd, another bigfootball fan, filled the second slot.

Bob Patt, current SAFE (and past STMA) Treasurer and Civic CenterManager/Stadium Manager for the City of Canton, was the key force inputting together the Raffle package. Patt made sure Doyle and Boydreceived their own VIP treatment with all the on-site arrangements inplace and running smoothly. Doyle says, IIWith all the activities goingon in Bob's facilities, he made time to meet us and really make us feelwelcome. Everything was set up so we could just relax, take it all in,and enjoy."

Doyle and Boyd checked out the NFL Experience, an interactive setof challenges of such individual football skills as passing and receivingto see how one stacks up to the skills of NFL players. Doyle says, "Lotsof families were taking part in this. It was fun to see how competitivemost of the kids-and many of the adults-were in working throughthe challenges. They had one display of molds of the arms and handsof some key NFLplayers. It was pretty amazing to see how big some ofthe guys really are."

The Pro Football Hall of Fame (HOF) was even more amazing. Doylesays, III hadn't imagined there would be so much on display for each ofthose in the Hall of Fame. It takes you through their entire footballcareer. And there's so much more there about the game of football andits history. You could really spend lots of time there, taking it all in.

44 September 2002

Having the opportunity to see that alone would be a great trip."And there was more. On August 5, Doyle and Todd played in the

2002 HOF Golf Scramble at Shady Hollow Country Club. The fifth ontheir team was retired NFLplayer Tom Goosby who had played line-backer for the Cleveland Browns. Doyle says, IIHe was a really friendlyguy and had lots of stories to share. Todd and I aren't great golfers,but none of our team were aiming at being top competitors, so we allreally enjoyed just playing the course and visiting with Goosby."

Monday evening's events began with HOF Tailgate Party. Security forthis event and the HOF game itself had been heightened, as has thatfor all major events, following September 11. With awareness of thatand a potential for rain mowing in, Doyle and Boyd opted to leavecameras behind and just enjoy the evening.

Doyle says, 'The Tailgate party was fun. We didn't meet any of theinductees, but we could spot some of them and lots of the pastinductees that were there for the ceremonies and the game. Our seatswere great for the game between the Houston Texans and the New YorkGiants. I think I was most impressed watching HOF inductee Jim Kelly,former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, who led them to four SuperBowls. He's not a very big guy by NFLstandards, but he was a greatleader. There was a huge turnout of Buffalo fans there for him. And,instead of rain, we got a cool down in the weather and a nice breeze, aperfect night for football."

Not a bad return for a $5 raffle ticket, especially since it wasDoyle's supervisor, Mike Andresen, CSFM,who bought the ticket forhim! Doing his part as an STMABoard Member to support the SAFEfund raising efforts, Mike bought enough tickets to fill one out for allof his staff members. Proceeds from this SAFEfund raising event willsupport sports turf related research and scholarships. For more infor-mation, see www.sportsturfmanager.com.
