OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER

entirely with the Detroit Lions. His accomplishments include two playoff
bids and a divisional championship. IN addition he was name Most Valuable
Player for the 1981 season, and his jersey hangs in the Canton Hall of Fame
for a Monday Night Football debut deemed the best in NFL History. He is
ranked fifth in all-time career passing yards in the Detroit record books.
