If you look at the crowd you see so many men (not women) dressed in suits and ties. There was a certain respect given to whatever you did outside of the home. You wonder how that changed. I do recall after the game going down into the locker room and being welcomed by the Ram players. My mom's boss was a man by the name of Joe DeFranko who was the statistician for the Rams and he took me into the old Coliseum locker room. I was 12 years old and can still recall Decon Dan Towler picking me up like I was a toy. Afterwards my mom took me to the Memory Lane on the old Santa Barbara Ave. st (now Martin Luther King Blvd. ) We had New York steaks and she had a martini (s) Some of the Rams came in and she danced with a few and some sat with me for company.
I remember those times as they were warm and friendly (before internet and message boards).
