Bill Clinton and Barack Obama

Fisher DeBerry is talking this week in the blog about his 15 visits to the White House from 1983 to 2002. He and the Falcons received the trips as rewards for winning the Commander in Chief’s Trophy.

Today, he talks about meeting Bill Clinton:

“He was very gracious,” DeBerry said. “As long as you would talk about football, he would sit and talk for hours. One time, we were standing in there talking and talking about Arkansas football and talking about college athletics.”

DeBerry began to get a little nervous. He could tell it was time for the football conversation to end and time for the ceremony to begin. DeBerry explains that everyone was ready for the ceremony and everything was ready for the ceremony.

Everything but the President  of the United States.

“They had to come out and knock  on the window three  times for us to come out.”

 TOMORROW: George W. Bush
