The 13 1/2" x 10 1/2" metal plaque is mounted with six screws onto a 16" x 12 1/2" black wood plaque with nicely detailed edges. A fascinating personal letter from former Als general manager J.I. Albrecht is among the letters of congratulations to Dalla Riva included in the correspondence and documentation in this lot that includes original programs, itineraries, tickets and press kits.

Another trophy from Ristorante Andrea stands almost 14" high, while an 8" x 10" lack Lucite plaque presented to Dalla Riva by the Alouettes Alumni Association features the organization's logo on a gold medallion. An original large size t-shirt issued by the CFL for the weekend is included, along with a variety of correspondence regarding the event, including the January 19, 1993 letter and envelope from CFL commissioner Larry Smith to his former Alouettes teammate confirming his induction. Ten 6" x 4" personal snapshots of the event are included. The collection comes along with Peter Dalla Riva's signed LOA.
