George Bonekemper

Johnson is no stranger to the struggles of business, having filed for Replica Handbags UK bankruptcy in 2012, but to her it's all part of the ride. "It ain't hard when you love it," she deadpanned. "It's beautiful when you love it, and I still love it after 50 years. I still love it. I'm creative consultant for all my brands, so I kick them in the ass when they need to get a little more Replica Designer Handbags creative. It's great. It's just perfect. I've had a Cheap Watches UK perfectly wonderful, happy life."As for her plans for the Fake Watches UK awards ceremony, she'll attend with her family, including her daughter, Lulu, Hublot Replica UK and two granddaughters. "I'm going to drag my whole family on stage to cartwheel with me," she laughed about what she'll do when she accepts the Christian Louboutin Replica UK award. Just another thing to look forward to at the CFDA Awards ceremony on June 1.

 

George Bonekemper was in on the ground-floor at the start of three teams -- Green Lane, Boulder Valley and the present-day Upper Perk Chiefs. He was manager and general manager of the Chiefs when they won three titles in five years (1979-1980-1983), and earlier helped keep the league together when the circuit dipped to just two teams -- Green Lane and Salisbury -- in 1969. As he recalled at Saturday's gathering, his first experience in the league was truly memorable.

"They always said I could get the players, but that first year at Green Lane we were perfect -- 0-and-18," he said. "And when I went to that first practice, no one showed up ... I was told the players didn't like to practice, but they'd show up for the game.

"Well, the first game was up at Pfeifle Field in Bethlehem, and at 3 o'clock we had just six players. Somebody said the others would probably show up at the field, so we went up -- and found just one more waiting for us. I went into a saloon on Broad Street and asked for ball players, and got one volunteer -- but he couldn't get off the bar stool. I eventually wound up putting on a uniform so we could play, and we lost the first of our 18 games that year. And afterwards I said to myself, `if I'm going to stay with this, I'm going to find some players."'
