I am in Indio CA and in the elevator going to the pool I met the daughter of Chuck Ortmann qb for the Steelers in 1951!!!! What a coincidence. I shook her hand and we talked about the Steelers on the way to the pool. Great day.

I know, right? My top-5 list (in order):
  • Katarina Witt's brother-in-law
  • Chuck Ortmann's daughter
  • Bert of Muppet fame (could be Joe Flacco, hard to tell the difference)
  • Amy Seritello, the 2005 Miss Wisconsin Cheese Queen or
  • Haneul Yu-Jin, a Kim Jong Un body double
 
If I am reading his wiki correctly, he was the 20th pick in 1951. was our starting QB in 51 and then waived in 52. strange

I'm in tears laughing!!!
 
God, I love this place.

Also love Indio. Did a lot of hunting out there in the day. What were you doing there, besides stalking the daughters of 20th round NFL picks of decades past?
