Green Bay Love Stories
Posted by Joseph Trexler
Sandy Sullivan, author of "Green Bay Love Stories" was the guest speaker at The Rotary Club of Cary-Grove's weekly meeting. Sandy provided an interesting overview of the years she was involved with the Green Bay Packer organization. Her book, "Green Bay Love Stories", has been acknowledged as a significant historical account of the Packer Glory Years and the foreword is written by Packers Hall of Fame great, Paul Hornung.
Born in the small town of Mauston, Wisconsin, Sandy moved to Milwaukee after graduating from High School. She worked at a major department store selling dresses where her supervisor encouraged her to become a model. She took the advice and attended modeling school. After graduating there, she was offered a job working as a receptionist with the modeling school. Her job was to place models with the various requests that were received by potential customers. One day, she received a call from Tom Miller who was the Assistant General Manager of the Green Bay Packers. They were looking for someone to sell tickets at a week-long Milwaukee Sentinel Sports show. She got the job and that opportunity dramatically impacted her life, including her meeting her future husband.
Sandy shared many of her experiences with the Packer organization, but there are many more stories available in her book, which is available on-line.
