Tundra Tales: A Personal Memoir of Green and Yellow Events

The dedication and loyalty to the Packers sets them apart from any other team in sports or in life. As a team without an owner, operating in a small market and competing against teams from the largest markets in the world, the Packers represent a unique and enduring spirit. For those who have endured years of mediocrity following the end of a dynasty, the devotion to the Packers runs deep. It’s easy to support a team that consistently excels, but quite another when the team is known for finding ways to lose and making poor decisions, stretching back to the 1970s and beyond. This is especially challenging for someone living fifteen hundred miles away from Green Bay.

Tundra Tales captures this reality through a collection of stories that resonate with Packers fans all over the country. The book delves into the experience of rooting for the visiting team in an unaccommodating environment, and highlights the challenges of being an NFL fan in a time before cable television, internet, and social media dominated the scene. Tundra Tales reminds readers that there is more to the game than just the final score.

Whether you are a devoted Packers fan or not, Tundra Tales makes for an enjoyable read. This book offers a heartwarming, funny, and inspiring glimpse into one fan’s lifelong journey of following the Green Bay Packers from New Jersey. Todd Whitaker, author of "What Great Teachers Do Differently," describes it as an extraordinary book filled with warmth, stories, and passion. Dr. Rob Gilbert of Montclair State University calls it a love story, and Don Smoyln, a seven-time state champion and third all-time winning coach in New Jersey, recommends it as a must-read for any Packers fan.

Even a New York Giants fan found Tundra Tales to be a compelling read, and recommends it for football fans and anyone embarking on a family journey. The book paints a vivid picture of the Packers’ history, and brings readers along on a fun and entertaining trip filled with passion. Whether you are a cheesehead, a football fan, or simply someone who appreciates a good story, Tundra Tales is a book that promises an enjoyable and memorable experience.
