Your article was especially meaningful to me, since I’ve been retired for five years. It was truly a gift to those of us who haven’t had access to your newspaper column. Congratulations on your retirement, I know you’ll have “many fun,” and we look forward to reading more of your musings.

Furman,

Great to see you embrace the new technology. I’m from Manchester, grew up reading your stuff and am now working for Jeff D’Alessio at Sporting News.

Keep it up.

Furman,

Thanks for all the wonderful columns over the years. I would always read your column before reading any of the other parts of the paper. You bring great insight into the world of sports. I hope you truly enjoy your retirement and know that you will be truly missed.
