CANTON, Ohio
One of the things they don’t tell you about receiving the honor of a lifetime is that you don’t have much time to enjoy it. The whole thing moves fast. You fly here on a Wednesday and they tell you to cherish every minute, but that can be hard when it’s Saturday and you realize the minutes are flying by.
The cherishing tends to come late at night, after all of the meet-and-greets, the autographs, the applause and even after laughing with the family. Will and Senia Shields stayed up late into the night in their room at a nearby Holiday Inn, physically exhausted but unable to sleep, talking about everything that happened that day.
