Tim Martinez: Clark County chapter of National Football Foundation in need of Hail Mary

When Gery Gehrmann, Denny Huston and Steve Miletich get together, they love to talk about the good ol’ days.

A recent lunch I shared with the three Hall-of-Famers lasted more than two hours.

“As you can tell, we all have stories,” Huston said. “And we also have wives with long honey-do lists, so any reason we can find to get out of doing that …”

As much as they love reminiscing, the three men are currently focused on the future as it pertains to the Clark County Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

Gehrmann helped establish the Clark County chapter of the NFF back in 1993.

“It was supposed to be 1992,” Miletich said. “But that was the year Gery had a heart attack.”

After his recovery, Gehrmann poured his heart into the NFF local chapter, which hosted an annual banquet that handed thousands of dollars of scholarship money to worthy high school football stars.
