Hi Marc,
I enjoyed your post. Was it Bob Lee that ran the Labor Day show? I got friendly with Randy Thyberg (was he related to Bob Lee?) in the 80's, as we were both young promoters with much in common. My conversations with these fine gentlemen were always pleasant. Randy promoted a nice event in Valley Forge at the Sheraton's Expo center with hundreds and hundreds of tables. I was in the front row and saw EVERYONE and EVERYTHING! The line-up of autograph signers was perhaps the greatest in the hobbys history. It was a huge show run 4-5 days around the 4th of July. My best memory of the event was Sunday morning when Randy charged the media big money to cover the show. The place erupted in applause as Pete Rose walked in with Michael Bertolini! I later went to my room and Whitey Ford was in the elevator with us. It's hard to believe that Randy has been gone so long. He was always a class act and we shared some very good stories about life as young promoters. Thanks for the posts, Marc. |
