Dear Friends,

The Montgomery County Sports Hall of Fame candidacy for Joe Bello moves forward.

I have two very specific requests to make of you.

1. Athletic Experience: I ask all of you who knew of Joe on the athletic field to sign this petition in support of Joe's candidacy and submit it as soon as possible. It is recommended you provide a comment to show your experience with Joe.

2. Character - Personal Experience: As most of you know, Joe touched many lives outside of football, as well. I welcome and encourage all of those who knew Joe outside of Football and can speak to his outstanding character to sign, as well.

I humbly ask for your support.

Note: Also, if any of you have a personal story or anecdote you would like to share I ask that you submit it in a short letter to me. It would be greatly appreciated. My inbox is michael.giongo@lfg.com

Please contact me - directly- if you have any questions related to this PETITION. No one should be telephoning the HOF directly as it could jeopardize the process. This petition is designed soley to be presented as additional support for Joe's candidacy outside of his athletic resume, if needed.

On behalf of the Bello Family and Joe...Thank you for all of your help and support for his candidacy.

Best regards,

Michael J. Giongo
