I was a teenage Packers groupie Oct. 11: Sandy Sullivan, candidate for Wisconsin state secretary, talks about her sexual exploits with the 1960s Green Bay Packers.

She recounted an encounter with Hornung during training camp in which Hornung picked her up at 5:30 a.m. and drove to a Green Bay hotel for sex. Some Packer coaches were in the lobby, so Hornung made her climb the fire escape to the fifth floor while he went in through the lobby.

Hornung broke down the door to the fire escape, almost knocking her over the railing, she wrote. She wrote she doesn’t remember having sex with him that night, “although I must have!”

Hornung did not return numerous messages left by The Associated Press. The book, however, includes a foreword in which he describes Sullivan as a “carefree, fun-loving girl who fit right in with me and the rest of the ’Pack.”’

When she was 20 she met Hutson, who was 50 then and long past his playing days. She said Hutson asked her to sleep with him, but she turned him down because he was a “relic from the Stone Ages” and she was in love with Hornung.

She also fell for Currie, a Packers linebacker. (“SIGH! One would have to be in a coma not to want him,” Sullivan wrote.) She later married Currie’s dentist, Matt Sullivan. He died in 1984.

One time, Nixon came to Green Bay for a ceremony to honor Starr, and Sullivan attended in a miniskirt. When Nixon began to speak, she started swinging her legs and smiling at him. He returned the smile.

Later he shook her hand, leaned over into her and softly said, “Hello there ... so you must be the CHERRY of the evening.” No one was sure what Nixon meant, Sullivan wrote, though she speculated he had confused her with Starr’s wife, Cherry.

Packers fans at Lambeau Field on Monday said her stand on the issues — not her one-night stands — would determine whether they would vote for her.

Seventy-eight-year-old Carol Williams of Menasha said she was surprised at Sullivan’s openness, but not her exploits.

“Who isn’t doing things like that these days?” she said.

Barb Hill, 65, of Luxemburg, said of Sullivan’s love life: “I can’t see what that has to do with voting, why you’d need to know.”

For her part, Sullivan wrote that her book could prove educational.

“Many of my football player friends tell me they have not read a book in years,” she wrote. “If they want to know what I’ve written about them, they will have to read the book. Consider this book my personal contribution to the literacy of some of the former Green Bay Packers!”
