It is great that they had the foresight to do what they did for Jim Ed but you can tell the three of them are very close and Jim Ed was just as happy as he could be anytime he had them beside him on stage. It is too bad they had to wait and they didn't get to publicly enjoy the medallion ceremony together. <br /><br />Jim <br />Knightsville, INAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-84194205932049435232015-09-29T09:04:13.660-04:002015-09-29T09:04:13.660-04:00Eddie also mentioned and wrote that Bonnie was a n...Eddie also mentioned and wrote that Bonnie was a non-smoker. <br /><br />Just another reason that in my opinion, the Hall of Fame waits too long between the Hall of Fame announcement and the actual medallion ceremony.

I hope that it doesn't end the same way for Bonnie, and that she manages to make it to the hall of fame medallion ceremony this fall. <br /><br />I wish her all the best with beating this cancer, and beating it permanently! <br /><br />Kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-14773013902389577912015-09-29T00:33:36.831-04:002015-09-29T00:33:36.831-04:00Noted above is the 1967 retirement of Maxine and B...Noted above is the 1967 retirement of Maxine and Bonnie Brown. Listening to Eddie Stubbs tonight he said that today at a media luncheon at the HOF Bonnie announced that she has stage four lung cancer and will start chemotherapy tomorrow. If I understood right you can go to Eddie's facebook page and see more information including where to send Bonnie a card.<br /><br />Jim<br />Knightsville, INAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-55053494027115715152015-09-27T20:53:35.101-04:002015-09-27T20:53:35.101-04:00Great as always.

Her father can be funny, too.<br /><br />The night that Lonzo and Oscar retired was also the night Mr. Acuff came back full-time from, as I recall, a pulmonary embolism. He had come out the week before with the birthday cake and said he wished he was healthy enough to perform, and suddenly, within a week, he was healthy enough. I wonder what happened. Anyway, that portion is on YouTube but unfortunately cut off before the end, when, as they walked off, Rollin and Dave shook hands and wrapped them around each other's shoulders. It was just a sweet moment.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.com
