A very large man holds the door open for me. I say "Thank You Sir" and walk outside. As the door is closing and he walks in, I realize I recognize this individual. He is about 6'7" and 300+.... I turn back inside. He is at the counter buying a book of stamps. It's me, him, and the cashier. "Excuse me. Did you play for the Bears?" "Yeah, I used to..." "Left...No. Right Tackle?........Big Cat Williams!" He smiles, "Yep." I say, "Nice to meet you, Sir!" and he completely engulfs my hand in a handshake. I make my way outside and back and as I'm getting in he says "Take care." James "Big Cat" Williams. cool guy. |

If anyone remembers the banners they had or have hanging in the main walkway at Soldier Field? a few years ago I was at the bears convention and I was at the bears promo booth where they sold al the old shit they had laying around and the Big Cat Banner was rolled up on the floor, for $50. The have the dark blue background, with a picture of Big Cat printed on heavy vinyl. it is about 3 x 10, very cool. they had B&W PR photos of almost every player, including doug, for only $1 each. I bought Doug, Fencik, Plank, Golden Richards, "Buddha", Mike Spivey, Hampton, Walter, Greg Latta and a few more, point being if you go, get over to the Bears booth. |

Back when I was living on the North Shore, I ran into Big Cat Williams a couple of times at Hawthorn and had similar experience. |
