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. |
