Hello Members,
As 2015 ends we are now just a little over six months away from the 2016 PFRA Meeting to be held next July in Green Bay at historic Lambeau Field.
With that in mind the PFRA is proud to announce the first wave of Guest Speakers. Being in Green Bay and coinciding with the PFRA release of the
original book on the 1966 Packers we will have two members of that team joining us. Wide Receiver Bob Long who played for the Packers for four years
(1964-1967) and Chuck Lane former Packers P.R. Director for 13 years including the first two Super Bowls will talk about their experiences with the
1966 Packers and Super Bowl I. Below is the five Guest Speakers lined up.
