I didn't know half of what Lamar has done in this community and the stories from his hospital bed about his favorite place on earth, which by the way was Arrowhead.
He just didn't blow his own horn which may have given the fans the idea that he didn't care.
I walked away with a much greater appreciation for Lamar Hunt then I ever had before. One of his last words from the hospital was GO CHIEFS!! He really did care about the fans and I for one will hold his memory and my chance to have net him as one of the highpoints in my life.

Thanks Weirdwolf. I know Lamar loved KC but I think alot of people didn't like the fact he was an out-of-town owner. That is also one of the biggest complaints about David Glass as well. People in KC want the owners to live here.
