One of the Original Packers

Last week prior to the Super Bowl In Wisconsin aired a report about the early days of the Acme Packers and how Curly Lambeau carried this team on his back. One of our viewers emailed to say his father Ed Huston played for the team in those early years.

Edwin Huston lived in Richland Center WI. He told his son how the uniforms had no padding and they played in a field of thorns. It was nothing like what the players have today. His son offered to send us a photo as the proof.

Besides playing football Edwin was also the Drum Major for the Richland Center, WI. band so he would march with the band and then play football all in one afternoon.

I found the story of Edwin Huston very intriguing and the photos are worth a thousand words. I'm sure Packer backers everywhere can appreciate what the players had to endure in those early years. Thanks for sharing Jim.
