The Hogan brothers made sure the fighting Irish were well represented, both earning their ways to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to compete – Frank (the “Irish Tank”) in the Eastern qualifiers to earn a spot on the Youth Olympics World Team; Richie (the “Hit Man”) fighting in the Eastern Regional Championships. Richie suffered a tough loss, by a split decision, even though he backed his opponent up and went toe-to-toe every minute, every round. Frank, facing the #1 fighter in the country on the first day, decided to go all out.  His body shots, too much in Round One, led to a win by a unanimous decision.  He faced the #3 in the country the next day, punching right through him on his way to the Finals.  [...]

by Rick Winterson   South Boston Online found out about the opening of the Reebok Store – Reebok’s Flagship Retail Facility and its Signature Headquarters Store – at midday on Monday, October 23.  The Store is located at Reebok’s new global headquarters, 25 Drydock Avenue, on the ground floor of the Innovation and Design Building in South Boston. The opening was a sight to see – awesome crowds beyond count, and music spun by a Kiss 108 FM DJ, who seemed to be having more fun than anyone else.  Refreshments were courtesy of Loco’s on West Broadway.  Sneakers are obviously athletic shoes more than anything else – check their categories like “training”, “running”, and “classic”.  So, the guests of honor were the Patriots’ Brandin Cooks [...]

Jack Hart reprised his role as a favorite South Boston emcee last Saturday in the Boston Teachers Union Hall on Mt. Vernon Street, where he took the reins at Harry Uhlman’s 85th Birthday Party. He started the program by asking everyone to rise and sing “Happy Birthday” to Harry. And Jack then struck exactly the right note by mentioning that classic American popular song, “I’m Just Wild about Harry!”, because all of us there were wild about him (and still are). The reasons for this high esteem were evident. Many of the guest were “special kids”, all of whom have been dear to Harry’s heart for the last 25 years. They were having the time of their lives, socializing with perhaps as many as 500 [...]
