What's on ebay? Greensboro Generals Jersey

"The Greensboro Generals name was originally used by the city's Eastern Hockey League and Southern Hockey League franchises. The EHL team played from 1959 through 1972, and the SHL team played from 1973 through the league's mid-season failure in 1977."
(Ok it has nothing to do with golf or the tournament in Greensboro, but with the passing of Carson Bain this item on ebay made me smile.)

2008 Memory Walk Honoring Carson Bain

"As most of you are aware, the 2005 Memory Walk honoring Carson Bain raised over $100,000 to help end Alzheimer’s Disease. This year’s walk will be held at Center City Park in downtown Greensboro on Saturday, May 31, 2008. Since this is Greensboro’s 200’th anniversary, what a fitting tribute it would be to beat the 2005 record this year.

My Dad has suffered from Alzheimer’s for over ten years. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. If the bad thing is a tornado, all we can do is hide in our basement and hope for the best. If the bad thing is Alzheimer’s, I hope you will join me and fight this bad thing head on. I refuse to hide in the basement and hope for the best when fighting Alzheimer’s. I’ll offer you two ways to help."
