It
is very indicative of the character of this player and the team
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
and the rest of the players were "one of their own"
and "A guy who would always give you the time of day".
That reputation continues to this day. |
