These Pictures, I owe to a GREAT friend and true “connected” man Tom Finch. He was my neighbor and was the speaker for the last game in the Chicago Stadium. This game was my first basketball game to ever attend! He ruined me! I sat on the court next to the basket and many times stood right next to Jordan if he was not falling on us. I ran out of film and the guy next to me sold me 3 rolls for 75.oo each!! I gladly paid! After the game tom got us into the dressing room where it was me my friend and the players not one other person was allowed in! truly One of the greatest nights I ever had. I thought... a few days later he asked me to come down town where he was setting up the Jumbo Trons for the Bulls celebration in Grant Park. Standing inside the Jumbo Tron a guy came in and told me that finch needed me right now! I followed him into the building and walked toward the Main Stage where the celebration just started! I asked Tom what he needed and he shoved me onto the stage and told me to blend in.. Holy Sh%$#%^ I leaned back up against the signs hanging down and spent the whole celebration on the stage with Jordan, Rodman, Pippin and Grant. Truly, Awesome. Walking into Woodfield mall a few years later we walked past a booth in the center of the walkway selling pictures of the bulls. Shannon grabbed me and asked my if the picture in her hand looked familiar? I said yea that was the bulls celebration in Grant Park. She asked me to look closer and sure enough behind the players standing on a crate was my big ole head!!!
“THANKS AGAIN TOM FINCH NOTHING WILL EVER COMPARE”
More to come i have given some away over the years and need to have them printed from the negatives
