Sam, the only members of the Vournazos family I ever knew was the one
who ran the Cameo.Jack P
Jack, that must have been Pete, whom I didn't know. Neither did I know John who had been a great Trojan bounceyballer and Played for an outstanding Earlhy Shawnee State team Harry Weinbrecht coached. Harry used John Vournazos with a couple of other Portsmouth greats, James Hamilton and Dick spencer. According to Harry: "John was 38 years old but the best player in the league."
Pete was John's dad and he also owned the Stone Pipe Inn where Harry roomed. and befriended Pete. Harry's story is in the "Excellence in Athletics on the Portsmouth Area" (pp245-256) along with Jim Fout's story (pp55-60).
Clay Vice played with some fine area teams with John after they had completed High School.
Vournazos is a great sports name in Portsmouth!
Nita Elliott also responded to the Clay's email regarding John's wife's death:
"Sorry to hear that...they lived at Hillview for a short time."
