My parents went to the Hardwood Club Dinner in 1985 and 1986. Not sure how they happened to go, because while we've always been fans, they weren't boosters or anything like that. I have to think John Deere, where my dad worked, may have been one of the sponsors.

Anyway, before they left the first year, we weren't sure if there would be time to get autographs. My dad wasn't that thrilled about waiting in line for autographs but my mom is always game for stuff like that, even though she isn't a big sports fan.  I gave my mom one assignment - get The Pearl's autograph. They got home that night and my dad had one sheet of autographs - he got Sherman Douglas, Rony Seikaly, Rafael Addison,Wendell Alexis, Herman Harried and famous walk-ons Joel Katz and Joey Kohm. My mom showed me her program.   Along with the same guys my dad had gotten, she was one of the last in line before he had to stop signing- but sure enough, scribbled at the top of the player picture page was The Pearl.
