On a random note Bart Starr was almost exactly half a century older than Rodgers.

(49 years, 11 months older)

I had not heard and did not know about Bart Starr's letter to Joe Roth's family although I was at Cal and following the Football team closely at the time.

This letter elevated my respect for Bart Starr even more. RIP.

Thank you Okaydo for posting this.

Go Bears!

Beautiful. Thank you.

The Roth family received countless condolence cards and letters from across the nation. Many of these letters/cards have been digitally preserved.

Notable letters were received from President Ford and the Governors of California (Jerry Brown) and Idaho (John Evans).
