Prior to the1967 season, Vince Lombardi installed a heating coil system underneath the turf in Green Bay (which just so happened to fail the day of the Ice Bowl that year). This heating system was purchased from a GE salesman who had ties to the Chicago Bears.

Name that salesman and his link to the Bear franchise and you’ll win yourself a variety 10 pack of premium smokes from me plus some additional everyday smokes.

First to answer right wins, C-bid time stamp will mark your guess. I’ll provide one hint per day and you can guess as often as you’d like.

George S. Halas, Chicago Bears Coach George Stanley Halas's nephew, who was the central district sales representative for GE's wiring services department.

I bow to the trivia master RagingMark. I'll e-mail you tommorrow for your addy. Time for bed here on the left coast.

google for the win 🙂

I'm still in awe. Prior to posting, I tried various google searches to ensure that it wouldn't be that easy. I'm still curious to know how you were able to answer this so quickly.

Yahoo

Bucky had me spinnin'.
although i wasn't gonna use a search engine, i did use a lifeline,(phone a friend), but came up short.
good contest, Bucky. if it wasn't for search engines, that question would have been unanswered for a while.

later daze, lance.

I guess I'm not a good "searcher." I tried all the obvious key words and phrases in but still come up empty. Good thing I'm not a librarian.

Yahoo- "lombardi general electric coil"

First Answer.

Silly me. I only tried mixes and matches of Lambeau Field, heating system, Lombardi, Halas, Frozen Tundra, Ice Bowl... None of which uncovered the answer.

I got lucky. Thanks for the contest. I love that s**t.

Rage,

Got your e-mail, package assembled and will go out tomorrow.

Bucky - What is life going to be like post-Favre for you hard core fans?

Post Favre? What are you talking about? I don't understand the question. There alway was, iss, and will be Favre.

We Packer fans went 20+ years without a division title. If we all stick together, we can weather another drought if it produces another Favre.

ye of little faith. the reason favre was even brought here and given a chance, was because of some major changes to the organization. those changes have been the factors to the teams sucess.
the 70's and 80's are history, and will stay that way,and were a huge learning experience, and i believe, a lesson learned well.

now, favre is a great q-back, and even greater teacher and leader, but not the complete catalyst. i hope he plays for many more years, although i think thats doubtfull, and when he retires, we will still have many key elements of a great football team, including all of what was learned from his greatness and presence.

we will survive in the post favre years, as there are many young q-backs filled with greatness and talent, and i'm sure the organizeation will stop at nothing to find such great players.

how could they not, we're talkin' about the green bay packers.

Oh boy, what did I start....? Nice to see there are other rabid fans out there who share my addictions but let's try to stay on topic and keep it to smoke talk here. I think a little smack talk, trivia... is OK but if we start going beyond the cigar focus, lets take it to another forum.

http://216.36.200.111/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=1 . See you there.

good point, and well taken.
o.k., back to shop talk, does anybody know what kind of stogies lombardi smoked?

It takes very little to get packer fans going. There is no group more devoted to thier
team. Just ask Kerry about lambert field.
GLEN lol
