Pope John Paul, Giant Stadium NJ, October 1995: I was lucky enough to acquire 3 tickets to the Pope's Mass at Giant Stadium. Both Andy and Phyllis Esslinger came all the way from LI so I wouldn't have to go alone. While Mr. Esslinger was gentlemanly and reserved, Mrs. Esslinger and I went crazy buying quite a few souvenirs! It was a lovely day and the Esslingers are lovely people!!
