I was also very privileged to meet up with the then quarterbacks coach of the Green Bay Packers, Steve Mariucci. Steve was another gentleman who took time out to greet fans from England and invited us to his house for afternoon tea, an event that used to happen in England and his lovely wife, being from England, extended this invitation.
From memory, I believe that Gayle was born in Brighton, England, but memory does fade over the years. We had a marvellous time with the Mariucci family and my only regret is that I have lost touch with them. Gayle served tea in wonderful china cups and teapot with assorted cakes as they used to do in England in times gone by, wonderful memory
