" What a wonderful gesture, both by Mr. Gonsalves and Mr. Lamonica. This is exactly the type of story the Hanford Sentinel needs to be reporting upon and printing on a regular basis. Society will benefit much more from reading positive stories like this than the sex, corruption, violence and trash we seem to be bombarded with on a daily basis. Perhaps this type of story will encourage others to perform more random acts of kindness. "

" You go Clem! Nice to hear you are on the mend, you are in the thoughts and prayers of many in this community. This story reminds me of old proverb told to me years ago by an Irish priest now gone from this world. It says "When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends." Indeed sir, those who know you Clem McNamara are the better for it! "

" Nice story - I'm sure stories like this don't sell as many papers - but they are refreshing. "

" It is so refreshing to see an american legend take time out of his schedule to make such a nice gesture in giving back. Those new millionaire quarter backs woulc take a few lessons here. Instead of worrying about selling their autographs to kids, perhaps they could give a few away sometimes to give back to the fans that have put them where they are now. Very nice Mr. Lemonica, it's good to know you haven't forgotten your roots or who helped make your career what it was an outstanding success. I hope you live a long an prosperous life for the compassion that eminates from your heart, to reach out to others when they need it most. Good Luck Clem and know you are in our prayers for a speedy recovery. "

" To All For It- you are absouluty right. I am old enough to remember when atheletes like Lamonica appreciated their fans. The new generation is all about SELF and MONEY. Fans are just an neccesary anoyance to most. The role models they present are not what you would want for your child. Drugs, arrogance,ME and "above the law " attitudes prevail. This story just shows that even in retirement that the OLD SCHOOL atheletes are a CLASS ACT. "

" Mr. Lamonica, I've been a Raiders fan since 1966 and my Uncle Clem has been a Notre Dame fan since I can remember.
Thanks for making his day and thank you for showing what a class act you are. Thank you too, Mr. Gonsavles for setting this up.
Uncle Clem, I hope you are getting better, and know you are in my thoughts every day!
Your "outlaw" nephew. "
