Gus Avrakotos graduated with my Father-In-Law (Aliquippa class of 55) and Poppy says the guy was all class. Insisted at every class reunion that he worked as this or that in government — usually as a nobody working in embassy operations. No one knew what he really did, of course. When the word came out, however, no one was surprised.
It’s an amazing small town. Home to Gus, Tony Dorsett, Mike Ditka, Pete Maravich, Henry Mancini, Ty Law, et al.
Ethnic Pennsylvania, eh? Back when immigration truly meant something.
Great post. I just read the posted obituary on Gus back up the thread....... helluva individual! Thanks for sharing, FlA
Wow that is quite a list.
