Pete Minego- Portsmouth Times in the forties and fifties

Who remembers reading the Pete Minego sports columns in the Portsmouth Times (Ohio) during the forties and fifties?  I read them then with religious fervor.  He was often quoted by the city newspapers.

Pete told us of Lowell Thomas referring to our city as the only one in the USA with tombstones for street signs.  Gave us a little false bravado for the Cultural Center of our Universe.  

I would like for some person still living in the city to researcch the old Minego columns and present some of his best.
