CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SAINTS'

Congratulations to the Easton Area Community Center (formerly Saint Anthony's Youth Center) for an absolutely superb night. It was my privilege to emcee the 13th annual Larry Holmes All-Star Celebrity Roast at the Best Western Hotel Center on Sunday night. Thanks to the Champ and his inviting all his celebrity friends, the event raised thousands of dollars to help keep the youngsters of the community off the streets, and in organized activities. The event honored Mrs. Margaret Walson, who along with her husband John Walson Sr., invented cable television in the United States. Also honored was son Ed Walson, who along with brother John Walson Jr., has been a big supporter of the Youth Center. Everybody was there, including Hall of Fame football star Lenny Moore, and Heisman trophy winner and Washington Redskins star George Rogers. From the boxing world, former Heavyweight Champion Joe Frazier, Gerry Cooney, six-time world champion Emile Griffith, former champions Bobby Czyz and Iran Barkley and former heavyweight contender Renaldo Snipes. And of course, the Hall of Fame Heavyweight Champion of the World, Larry Holmes. Thanks to all who made this night possible, and a big thank you from all the kids that you helped.
