THE DALLAS SEEN:
Many of Dallas’ most prominent were sighted on and off the Avenue last weekend. Here are just a few of those sightings!
On Thursday several greats were sighted at Trinity Hall! They included “Big” Mike and Irish Fest Ricky who all came out to see the legendary Derek Warfield play. But there were two other sightings that were two of the most dramatic ever! My very long time Irish friend Gerry McElroy and the legendary “Big Gulp” (H.O.F.#114) were sighted!
