Marquette Iron Rangers:  Impressions on Youth.

Below is a card mailed to Ron Johnson by a child from Marquette in 1968.

 


It is very indicative of the character of this player that, after almost 40 years, he still has this simple get-well card from a young fan.  One gets the feeling that something like this card means more to Ron than any trophy or award.

The fans at the Palestra felt as if Ron Johnson was "one of their own" and "A guy who would always give you the time of day".  That reputation continues to this day.
