What’s your first memory as a Bears fan? (alien.top)

I do not have a particular one, but as a kid I thought Erik Kramer was the best QB in the league lol. I even had my parents buy me his jersey.

This one dates me, but that’s ok. I was born in Chicago in 1969 and in 1973 my parents moved to a northern suburb called Deerfield. I went to Walden Elementary school and I had Kindergarten with Brian Piccolo’s daughter Kristi. Brian died when she was an infant so she didn’t really know him. With that said, our kindergarten teacher and principal sure knew about him. They would tell stories every so often about the Chicago Bears and what he did on the field and the community. One of my earliest life memories was playing with blocks and tinker toys with her in class. She wasn’t there the whole year and after that I never saw her again. My family were Bears fans, but that solidified my fandom.
