Vikings: Mick Tingelhoff's induction unites family, friends

CANTON, Ohio -- Friends, family members and former Vikings teammates have come from all over the United States for Mick Tingelhoff's induction Saturday night into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Some drove all night.

Tingelhoff's sister, Dee Salisbury, 77, rented a bus in Sioux City, Iowa, that carried 18 friends and family members. They traveled about 15 hours to the shrine in Canton.

Another sister, Dorothy Bergstraesser, 79, drove with relatives even longer, about 18 hours from Tingelhoff's native Nebraska.

Former Vikings running back Chuck Foreman and two others had a short drive in comparison, coming 12 hours from the Twin Cities.
