"Bart Starr is back on course to make it to Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night.

“If it were tomorrow, he’d be there,” Starr's wife, Cherry, said Monday.

That’s a big statement, because early last month the odds didn’t look good for Starr’s historic return to Green Bay. The 81-year-old Packers icon is scheduled to appear with Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers at the unveiling of Favre’s retired No. 4 on the Lambeau bowl façade at halftime of the team’s game against the Chicago Bears in what, if Starr can attend, promises to be one of the most electric moments in franchise history."

There was a great article linked here a couple of months ago. It might deserve to be bumped or linked again in this thread.
We can probably rely on a loving woman's faith. God is good. Bart will be there.
And, surely, Harold Drew and Jennings Whitworth will join Saint Vincent watching from the loge.

That's the one.
Nice job, Brad.

That's a wonderful, yet very sad and touching story. I pray that Bart can make it to Lambeau for a very much deserved final hurrah.
