My nephew, Bud Fisher, has made me proud again. The following post appeared on the Quinnipiac Bobcats website this week:

Hey David! Just popping over here to thank you for your encouraging comments lately during our time of transition. I really appreciate your taking the time to comment and to wave, too, while passing through my area! :) Oh, was wondering if the reason you were here on the 1st was because of the big outdoor hockey game? I enjoyed hearing about it afterward on tv... one of the security guards said he'd never seen so many happy people in one place before... Loved that. Buffalo really loves its sports and has such a small hometown feeling--a couple things we've enjoyed about it all these years. Anyway, thanks again so much for stopping by! Blessings, Debra
