HSBT
Hewes Super Bowl Trophy
ACTION REQUIRED: Request for New Participant
In: Updates
5 Oct 2014Gentlemen,
Over the past several years we have enjoyed the addition of new participants into the HSBT competition, expanding the league from the “original 4” to the 7 we have today. A few short weeks ago, I received a request from our newest adult family member to join our friendly competition. His name is Joe Sofia and he is, as most of you know, my new son-in-law (having married into the Hewes family in late August).
As is customary with these types of requests, I am obligated to communicate with each of the current participants and to secure your “Yes” or “No” vote to include Joe into the HSBT. By way of background, Joe is an avid Cleveland Browns fan, which fits in nicely with those of you who are avid Buffalo Bills fans – i.e., you are rooting for a team in desperation, and for a very long time (however, the Browns have 4 less Super Bowl appearances than the Bills). Beyond being a Browns fan, Joe is an avid sports fan in general.
I have reviewed the rules of the HSBT with him, but not in great detail at this point. Being a banker, he should be able to figure out the details once I sit down with him before the playoffs begin. When asked if he would be interested in joining, his response was “Okay'” followed by a pause, then an affirmative “yeah.” I believe he is very anxious to participate in the HSBT and will be a solid contender (for at least 2nd or 3rd place…).
Please let me know your vote in the next week.
