*PLEASE HELP BY FORWARDING THIS E-MAIL TO ANY FORMER PLAYERS OF BRIAN Hill*



To former players of Brian Hill:



As many of you know, Brian Hill has a life-threatening form of cancer that has required surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. This has left him unable to work and coach. He has expressed a desire to visit with the former players he has enjoyed coaching over the years, and many of you have expressed the same desire.



He would like to invite you to visit with him in a "come and go" setting Sunday, September 7th, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the Trussville Fire Department’s Training Center located at the old Trussville Elementary School on Cherokee Drive. Drinks and snacks will be available; however, feel free to bring more.



Adults, please be mindful of Brian's time in that he desires to visit with your children during this two hour period.



Thank you,

Phil Dillon & Richy Gerhardt
