I forgot to add one thing.....
About two weeks after the run was over, Bobby Rydell actually called my house. My Mother answered the phone. Bobby Rydell is from her generation so she was flipping out when she picked up the phone.
She was going crazy "Bobby Rydell is on the phone!!!!"
All Bobby wanted to know was if we actually got paid. I told him no. He said he'd try and see what he could do, but really what could he do all the way back in philly......
But it does show you what kind of a stand up guy he is.
