DENVER -- Greg Price and Gerhard Schutzenhofer are rewarded with quite the view.
On the night of the Broncos’ opener, they sit next to each other at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and watch Denver fight back to win against the Panthers.
There's a lot to look out on – both seen and unseen.
Greg, a burly, lifelong Broncos fan who grew up in Denver, and Gerhard, a soft-spoken man from Austria, are an unusual pair. They met a year ago after a five-decade search tested them with tragedy and repaid them with joy.
The brothers couldn’t be kept apart.
On Sept. 2, 1946, Gerhard was born. Almost 70 years later, he would meet his brother for the first time.
Their father, James, was a member of the Army Air Forces and served overseas during World War II. In 1945, he was stationed at a base in Austria, where he met Gerhard’s mother. They had a child together, but the relationship wouldn’t last past the end of the war. James returned home and met Evelyn at Elitch Gardens. Together, they would have three kids, including Greg.
James never mentioned Gerhard.
