Just received GREAT NEWS on Big John. He has returned to Duquesne U basketball
duties today- June 1. He will work a limited time schedule, 4 hours of Big John is worth 8 hours from many people.

He is able to follow his son--soon to be a soph "thru his AAU schedule. The report is that the young man can get it done.

Please don't tie up the phone lines------------ DO TIE UP THE US POST OFFICE with cards. Write ONLY in Green ink.

I have a photo of John, Danny Nee and Paul Baron. Will post it as soon as one of my grandkids show mw how.

Long road behind him--long road ahead of him. He will finish on TOP

Great to see Big John back working. I am sure he would rather be the one working the open eval period but he busy talking to coaches and such ....so it goes. Tucked away on the hill the Palumbo Center seems to get upgraded every time we are there. Can't wait to see the COnvo BTW. Always good to catch up. SOunds good, looks good and as always positive about life. Decided we are both blessed. Good visit

Thanks for posting the link. It's heartwarming and uplifting story. Hope Big John totally recovers from all of the side effects of the treatments soon!

Amen. The 80's were a golden period in OU basketball history because of guys like John.
