ORLANDO, Fla. – Tom Henschel has spent the last 55 years of his life living every football fan’s dream. “Here I am holding my first 16 ticket stubs, here I am holding 36 ticket stubs.
Here I am holding 40 ticket stubs,” the 79-year-old said to News 6 as he showed some of the memorabilia he’s collected since his first Super Bowl in California in 1967.
Henschel is getting ready to attend his 55th Super Bowl in Tampa on Feb. 7. “I don’t get nervous and I’m very fearless, let’s put it that way, and uh--but I can feel my heart beating just a little bit more because the Bucs are in the Super Bowl for the second time ever,” he said.
