Look who the Icon ran into on Saturday
Look who the Icon ran into on Saturday at Shirley's birthday party. He even offered us some of his popcorn.
Without providing any names - because that could give it away - we'll hand out a half dozen Shannon Theatre passes to Icon viewers who can ID this guy and give viewers a good sentence or two about him.
Depending upon the number of respoonses, we may hand out honorable mentions.

We are posting this on the Icon Facebook, having promised this now out-of-town visitor 750 Facebook views within 24 hours of this post.
Don't let us down viewers!

• The picture is Lucas Cherry! I'll never forget him holding that basketball forever in one of the high school games under Rick Shaner! He was also a great student helper in the elementary school.

• Lucas (Luke) Cherry-
Our families go WAY back, often getting together as we grew up. My brother and I would trade basketball cards with this guy and his brother Casey, till wee hours of the morning, usually followed by a game of 2-on-2 in Elvet Foulkes barn up the road. One of our most shared memories is the "Pile on Rob" experience at his Uncle Tom Cherry's house; during and after the 2001 OSU National Championship football game we all watched together. You'll have to ask him about the details.
