Here I thought this thread had just died a quick death (intended), only to see it resurrected days later.

Nice thoughts, gang!

Just want to say that things posted in the morning hours get missed by me if I hadn't posted in the thread before. Then they get buried in the rest of the threads by the time I get on the site each night. And Friday is my busiest day of the week, so I'm rarely ever on the site during the day on Fridays. The only times you'll see me here during daytime are Sundays and an occassional Saturday afternoon.

I was like WHAT!! when I saw you post about Johnny Lam Jones. I went to the same high school as him in Lampasas Tx. He still holds a bunch of records in track in that school and state.

I knew he was fighting cancer for several years but sadden to here of his passing. I have given all of my Johnny Lam Jones cards to Lampasas High School except 1 which I still treasure to this day 2011 Upper Deck Texas Autographs.

It's probably the first thing I do each day when I get on the site. Sometimes I read about the newly deceased from other sources too. I never knew Johnny Lam Jones was an Olympic gold medalist in track before his NFL days.

Of course, I spend (arguably) more time than anyone else on the site hanging out in cemeteries too. Found VP Schuyler Colfax's grave yesterday. In fact, my second-ever blog post will be a summary of my weekend. And yes, there were cards. Four added to my collection, to be exact.
