Today, we fast forward 'bout a year to July 1966, when our Dino set 'nother record, not as noteworthy and not as all powerful as his Billboard boast, and yet 'nother extraordinary example of the transformin' power of our most beloved Dino. From the annuals of the Odessa (Texas) American, which this year on October 2 will be celebratin' 75 years of continues reportin', comes the powerful proclamation that our Dino "played in the Odessa Pro-Am golf tournament at Odessa Country Club in (July) 1966" along with his pallie Mr. Don Cherry."
The reason that the pallie at the Odessa American are recallin' this Dino-event is 'cause our main man "helped to attract the largest crowds ever for the tournament. More than 7,300 people attended on the final day." This is a Dino-fact that we ain't ever heard proudly proclaimed before, and likes as we sez, not of the mighty magnitude of bustin' the Beatles, but yet 'nother inspririn' indicator of our Dino's superstar status.
We knows that if we had been anywhere near Odessa in July of 1966 we woulda wound our way
to get even a glimse of our King of Cool! We thanks all the pallies at the Odessa American for sharin' this grand and glorious highlight in the Dino-journey and we wishes them well as they continue to share great moments in their 75 years of news reportin' To checks this out in it's original source, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-message.
