We had a big BC who was such a love, she could melt hearts. And I do remember Walter Payton. My hubs is also a big football fan.

Re: Payton, have you or your hubby heard this story? (Remember Payton and Archie Manning were friends.)
>>>
Archie Manning remembers the day after his second son, Peyton, was born in 1976. "The phone rings and it’s Walter on the other end," Archie Manning said. "He congratulates me and says he knows we are good friends and all, but he was really surprised and honored that Olivia and I would name our son after him."
“So, I finally said, ‘Walter, I love and respect you, but I named Peyton after my uncle up in Drew. It’s spelled P-E-Y-T-O-N, with an E, not an A. Well, Walter didn’t even acknowledge that. He said he couldn’t believe I was such a dumbass that I misspelled his name. He just always considered Peyton to be his namesake. He loved Peyton.”

Good luck with your handful of sweetness. I bet he's such a love.
