Training Camp - July 31, 20101469 viewsFrom Cassie Wellen, who attended training camp with her husband on July 31st:

Erin, I attended training camp on the 31st and thought I would share this story with fellow fans.

I am a member of the Steelers Fan Club and was on the field for the first practice wearing a Ben jersey. My husband sat behind the fencing with his Miami Redhawks jersey on and was interviewed by the Associated Press. His statements actually appeared on NFL.com.

Anyway, after practice Ben held his press conference and then went to the left side of the bleachers to sign autographs, we were on the other side of the complex. An older security guard and a younger female security guard noticed our jerseys and felt bad because he was not coming to where we were located. They took us through the crowds of people to the top of the campus to wait for Ben to get out of the cart.

Since he gave his shoes away (above) he did not come to where we were located, but the young female guard stayed with us and took us into the bookstore. She took both our jerseys and a hat into the locker room and came back out with them autographed. We watched her take them into the locker room and I saw Ben hand them back to her when the door opened.

I thought this was the best thing ever. Although we did not personally meet him, he was nice enough to sign the jerseys after he was already done for the day.

I just thought I would share this story with you and hopefully many people will realize he is making the appropriate steps to regain his fan base. I was never not a fan.

I am a disabled vet and the first time I saw Ben play I was deployed to Iraq. So that Christmas I received a "Ben" jersey for Christmas from home. This past year I wrote Ben and told him my story, and on Christmas Eve I received two of his special cards. That was the best present ever.

I just hope that one day I have the pleasure of meeting him and saying thank you for these wonderful experiences.

*Cassie, thank you so much for sharing your story!Aug 19, 2010

Training Camp - August 16, 20101709 viewsErin,
When training camp began, we had only planned to attend one day of training camp and the night practice, but last week my husband and I decided to attend one more time... and I was so glad we did.

This time there were more people so we had to sit on the hillside (rather than the bleachers), but lucky me -- it was the hillside where Ben always signs autographs. After practice we stood right at the fence line. Of course you get tons of people trying to shove their way in but lucky me again, I am married to a Marine, lol...

As Ben approached my heart was beating a mile a minute, I couldn't believe I was actually this close to him and as he walked up to me and signed my football, I asked, "Would you please take a picture with me?" and he said, "Sure, if you have someone to take it!". I wanted to say something to him but that's about all that would come out, lol. I was speechless.

After everything that has happened, I can honestly say he such a sweet guy, all smiles - and Ben was so great with the kids...

Today was a great day. They say the third time's a charm, well I can definitely agree with that because this was our third trip to training camp this year and I got to meet Ben... wouldn't trade it for anything.
