Weekend in Canton begins with plenty of goose bumps for Andre Reed and others

Thrill of a lifetime.
Not only for Andre Reed, but for everyone from the Lehigh Valley who got to experience the gold jacket dinner and ceremony tonight at the Canton Memorial Civic Center. I admit, even I got caught up in the moment as many of the great players I admired as a kid gathered right before my eyes.
If it didn't sink in before how special this accomplisment is for Andre Reed, it certainly registered in a big way tonight as some of the greatest names in NFL history -- all-time legends like Jim Brown, Joe Greene, Gale Sayers, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and many others welcomed the former Dieruff High, Kutztown University and Buffalo Bill star to their special fraternity.
