Looks good.

It has not been Shawn's modus operandi to smack us in the head with a HHOF'er. He has tended to go for the more obscure halls of fame.

I like the "particularly personal relationship" part. Reminds me of the novelty song "I'm My Own Grandpa."

I would hope to get an honorable mention as I bet Danny Grant read something (a street sign, a menu, etc.) to Jacques Demers (no disrespect to Jacques).
