Most of
us have a favorite sports figure, movie star or other celebrity whose work we
admire. We like to think back with fond
memories at their game day antics, magical moments, or inspiring comments.

| ARCHIE MANNING |
This
past Saturday night, I had the opportunity to film my all-time favorite
Quarterback. The Community Foundation of
North Mississippi honored Archie Manning and his wife Olivia at the Crystal
Ball Gala in Southaven, MS, a suburb of Memphis.

| CRYSTAL BALL GALA |
Archie
found fame as the number one draft choice of the New Orleans Saints in 1970
following a stellar college career at Ole Miss.
The bumper stickers read, “Archie Is A Saint.” Today, with sons Peyton and Eli earning Super
Bowl rings in the NFL, sportscasters refer to the Manning’s as the First Family
of Football.
When
the Community Foundation called me Friday and asked if I would operate one of
the video cameras used to project the evening’s festivities on the two big
screens, I immediately accepted. Better
yet, I got to run the shoulder mounted camera at the stage.
A
big thank you to the Community Foundation for the opportunity to serve. And thanks to Archie for all the great
memories.
