I don't know if I liked the football game more or the chocolate malt my Dad bought me at my first Cal game in ca. 1972, but I've loved the Bears ever since. I remember getting one of those (obnoxious) plastic horns they used to let you blow to make noise, and the people in front of us nearly losing their sh$t. I have no idea if Cal won the first game I attended or not......I wish I had a pic, like you. Love them Bears. Love them. Go Cal!!!!

How did I never realize you were this young? Also, I lived in Detusch (long, long) before you.
