Over the years, mom’s access to the team enabled me to have some extraordinary experiences. I got to go with her onto the field before games. I have been in the locker room following victories. I sat on Hank Stram’s lap. I rode Warpaint. Once per year mom would be invited to watch a game in Lamar Hunt’s suite. She always took me along.

One of my favorite memories was of watching a game there. I don’t remember who we played or what the circumstances were, but the Chiefs got robbed by some horrible call by the Refs. Norma Hunt was livid. Norma was always the perfect counterpoint to Lamar’s quiet calm. She had a couple of drinks in her and was ranting and raving about how she was going to call the league office the next day and really give it to Pete Rozelle.

I remember looking over at Lamar, standing next to a wall watching the proceedings with just the faintest hint of a smile on his face. I don’t know how it turned out, but I have always had the funniest feeling that he let her make that call.
