SNOOPER SALUTE: This is on behalf of ALL you 76ers fans. Tell me, are they the BEST, or what? This team really showed them all what 'heart' is all about, especially 'the little dynamo'- Allen Iverson. No matter how bad the body hurt, the heart overcame. No- you can't keep a good man down- OK!

SNOOPER PERSON of the WEEK: I love this lady - Clara Garrett of MC Court. This gal is just another one of those 'unsung heroes' we never hear about. She is great at what she does and now everybody knows it. If you don't believe me just ask Judy McCann, she'll tell you - great!

SNOOPER SIGHTING: "Here comes da judge. "The Hon. Jimmy Moore, 'the fashion plate of the Judicial System.' Yes, he's the best-dressed Judge in Municipal Court. And we're not talking about black robes here. He's a helluva nice guy too!

SNOOPER TIP: Remember this name- Bob Feeney. This gentleman works for the Inspector General's office in the State Bldg., and also the Peanut League. Remember where you heard it first.

SNOOPER UPDATE: Michael J. Stack, Jr., informs us that the Glancey portrait project is progressing very well. To all those who didn't send their checks yet please call Stack at 735-6500. He's at 1600 Locust St.

SNOOPER SAD SCOOPER: Yes, the gentleman who wrote, "Rock Around the Clock" is now in Rock-n-Roll heaven. His name was James 'Jimmy' Meyers. Jim passed away a few weeks ago. God Bless him.

SNOOPER SCOOPER: I'll bet you didn't know Pro-Wrestling is now on the upswing. Yes, new independent promoters are popping up all over this city now that the E.C.W. is history!

SNOOPER SUGGESTION BOX: Now that the Eagles have broken ground for their new stadium, what happens to 'The Bubble?' I believe the taxpayers paid for that, why not turn it over to the Recreation Dept. for the kids of this city to use? …Think about it.

SNOOPER THANK YOU DEPT: Joe McDermott & Frank Talent, both of Municipal Court, want to thank Brother John Kane for the use of the Tom Gola Arena for tomorrow's big basketball game. The game starts at 6pm get there early so you don't miss any of the action.

SNOOPER PERSON of the WEEK: This one isn't even close, Mr. Arnell Coleman, MC Court, Court Crier 'extraordinaire.' I have never met a more pleasant gentleman and he's always ready to help anyone.

Try us at www.phillyrecord.com- come and see for yourself what this newspaper is all about. Hey, be sure to pull up The Snooper column. Yo- and tell all of your computer 'buddies' about us.
SNOOPER SCOOPER: The Variety Club has changed their 'Hawk the Papers' day from June 14 to Sept. 14. This will be the day they hawk their Sunshine Edition. Buy one and one for a friend too, it's a great cause!

SNOOPER EAR DEPT.: Overheard outside 34 S. 11th Street. "Let's give her a gun." This young lady was very upset about those who don't pay their city taxes. She favors the idea about 'attaching' wages to pay them.

SNOOPER SIGHTING: I saw 'The Living Legend' last week. No it wasn't the Pro-Wrestling great Bruno Sammartino, it was Larry Winters. He started 'hardcore' wrestling with Tony Stinson. 

SNOOPER MEMORY LANE: A lot of wrestling fans have asked me about Joel Goodheart. Yes, he's also one of those who gave us what we know as, 'hardcore' wrestling. He put on some of the greatest shows in this city.

SNOOPER SUPER SCOOPER: Once again I have proof, it pays to learn. Nonee Wagner, one of Joe McDermott's top mediators, has been hired as Asst. Deputy Attorney General for the State of New Jersey. Yes, another example of how education pays off and pays well.

SNOOPER SCOOPER: Unbelievable - Steve McGrath, the noted film producer, also works at Morton's Steak House, and in comes Joey of the group, N-SYNC. Yes, he has photos- true! His lovely wife, Colleen, is so proud of him.

SNOOPER SMARTS DEPT.: This intellectual goes into the bank and hands the teller a hold-up note. He waits for her to give him his money and he leaves. Get this "Mr. Brain Surgeon" wrote the note on his own account's withdrawal slip. He was very difficult to catch. OK!

SNOOPER COMMENT of the WEEK: When are the sports fans of this city, going to realize all our teams are very competitive. The Phila. 76ers are one of the best arguments I could give you. Who ever thought they would be champs! And by the way, all you fans are champs too, you showed the rest of the country how to celebrate when you win and how to lose gracefully…sad but not stupid!

HOLD the PRESSES…A LATE FLASH FROM THE SNOOPER: We are sorry to report that big wonderful party the Hon. Tom Gerhert, Judge of Municipal Court, throws every year in Wildwood is not happening this summer. Three huge graduation parties were just too much for the burned out judge and he needs a break. He sends his apologies and says, "We'll see you next summer!"

Back ...
