Someone asked about Clemson Christmas presents, check mine

Way back in 1999, I bought a new car. Every year, when we received our stickers from IPTAY, I put one with the others on the rear window of that car. This went on for many years until I decided it was finally time for a new car. I decided to give the old car to my niece who was turning 16 rather than trade it in or sell it, but before I did that I took a few last photos.

With my brother's family being Gamecocks, I figured the first thing they'd do is scrape those stickers off the car.I thought about making keeping the stickers on the car a condition of ownership but decided to not be an ###. I did mention that I hated seeing those go.

What I didn't know was that my brother would surprise me by presenting me with the stickers later. He spent hours carefully scraping them off the car keeping them as intact as possible and stuck them on a piece of foam poster board. He said he thought that since Mrs. Percy was so creative that she could do something with them, maybe put them in a frame or something.

That was back in the summer. Flash forward to Christmas morning when I opened a large square present, about 24-by-24 inches. It was a beautiful matted and framed 3-d Tiger Paw, made from those same stickers and foam poster board and the actual tiger paw is about the size of a large dinner plate.

This will be hanging in a place of honor in my office from now on!

Thanks so much to my brother for saving the stickers and thanks ever so much to my wife, a true Clemson spirit!
