On a flight from Kauai to Phoenix last week, my wife enjoyed a marvelous chat with Kathie Jo Vachon, "Mad Dog" Vachon's widow. Here's one of the earliest references to Mad Dog in the Minneapolis Tribune (May 29, 1964). P.S. He pinned Billy Goelz.
This ad, published in the Minneapolis Star on Feb. 3, 1945, appears to be the first reference to the Rev. Billy Graham in a Minnesota newspaper.
The pool game between Tony Thompson and Billy Graham occurred at Johnson's saloon. Billy Graham was champion. - St. Paul Appeal, April 1, 1893
