Jack H speaks about Joe Luchi !

I have always heard stories about the legendary Joe Luchi of Portsmouth, Jack. Apparently, he was a naturally built strong and talented athlete. i watched those legend basketball teams and I inteerviewed Ray Kornhoff's son. Mick, for my Softball "It Don' Matta' book. Mick has pics of the legion teams in bounceyball and softball.

I am not currently working on an athletic book, but there are many excelletn ones I didn't get, including Joe, Jack H Plymale, Gene Tennace, Gene Bennett, LeRoy Frazier, Joe Roberts, Don Gullett, Larry Hisle, and many others I would like to interview for stories before I, or they, pass on. Something like Exc in Ath II. Currently I am interviewing for Acquaintances With Integrity II and want to schedule a few Portsmouth guys for some of those interviews.


I admire Your good friend, Paul Walker's son, for wanting to do a similar Excellence in Athletics book for Middletown. Jack Arturs has hinted at a similar book for Westerville.

Sam, You probably don't remember too much about Joe Luchi. Great bouncey ball player on one of the extra good legion team in Portsmouth. A starter with Don Monk at the U. of Cinn.Was about 6 feet, but ,like the rest of us old guys---has shrunk a little. Not a great talker but he and his wife Billie are lovely people to be about. His dad owned that old bar that used to be on the corner at 8th and Campbell, so you know he's a tough cookie.But as mild mannered as anybody you'll encounter. Jack P.

Sam, I hope you get these pictures. As you can see I already sent copies to Jim Fout and Rod Kinskey. They are from Joe Luchi and his wife Billie. She was one of three gorgeous Pridmore girls of portsmouth. Joe Hedrick( starting guard on the '43 Trojans) married Eloise.Give youself plenty of time before you sit to look at these pictures, I think they are breathtaking.
