| Eben Byer |
The subject of his program is Eben Byers, a wealthy socialite, athlete and industrialist born in Pittsburgh. Eben Byers was at the top of his game at the dawn of the 20th century and one of the greatest amateur golfers in the world having won the 1906 amateur championship. Everything was going his way.......until his jaw fell off! Mr. Ciaramella brings back to life one of the most bizarre sports stories in American history. His talk will include artifacts from the Byers estate and Vince will have you wondering why you may have never heard of Eben. Come check it out, it could be radioactive!
