I usually read Ron Kantowski's column and enjoy it. I especially enjoyed Tuesday's on Eddie Mathews which mentioned Dean Chance.

I once was a member of Wedgewood Country Club in Medina, Ohio. Dean Chance was a member also. At that time he played golf and gin, to provide himself with "walking around money," and also had booths at state fairs, where you throw a dart at a poster. He was in "cahoots" then with the Trikilis brothers (Pro Arts), whose claim to fame was the first edition of the Farah Fawcett poster.

So Ron was very correct with his subtle mention of Chance dabbling in boxing promoting "among other things."

I really enjoyed that. Keep up the good work.
