I received an e-mail informing me that Danny Mahoney will be honored September 18th and 19th at the 29th Annual Great Irish Fair of New York. Mahoney was named Irishman of the Year’. What a great honor!
Danny, better known as ‘Chief’ was one of the best big men that played in the summer league. He rebounded and blocked shots with the best of them. On a professional note, Mahoney is Assistant Division Director, Motion Picture & Television Production. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
He’s big time baby!
For all that don’t know, the fair raises critical funds in support of Catholic Schools in Brooklyn and Queens and is also a great time !
Many folks from the neighborhood are the backbone of the event and Martin Cottingham does a tremendous job putting it all together.
Hopefully you can get out there this weekend…and congrats to Danny!
