As noted many times before, I have always ...Budd, <br /><br />As noted many times before, I have always admired you for your knowledge and writing. Too, your friendship for the 30-odd some years means a lot. <br /><br />Yes, envy is a good word as well. How easy it was for you - still is and will be - to write a story with depth and detail. <br /><br />And your knowledge. Never forget the day we lunched on the third base line of a Bison's game as we played hooky from our Sabres job, entombed in the dark and smelly Aud. <br /><br />While munching down a Ted's famous and enjoying the intense splash of sunlight, you continued to update me on stories and stats of the players before us out on the field. <br /><br />"How do you know all this Budd," with my curious look. You simply responded: "Baseball is my life, Hockey is my hobby."<br /><br />We made a good PR tandem with the Sabres. Think they broke us up because we were so honest - to a fault. Always telling the truth, minimizing the spin. <br /><br />We worked well together being good PR guys, recognizing our talents. The Sabre brass just didn't understand. <br /><br />Glad, too, for the thrice-a-year interviews (plus playoffs) on the Bandits broadcasts over the years. Always good stuff, adding broadcast credibility, keeping away from the "puff-balls" the NLL thrives on. <br /><br />Fine work, Budd. <br /><br />You might of left the News, but you'll never leave a keyboard. You've a gift, man. Keep writing and broadcasting. <br /><br />John GurtlerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084217447843638823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28011139.post-79295264552720817902017-08-05T23:01:46.510-04:002017-08-05T23:01:46.510-04:00Enjoy retirement and the adventures you will have ...Enjoy retirement and the adventures you will have in the future!
