  • "The Olympics Don't Take American Express"
    “…..and the Olympics didn’t take American Express” Chapter One: How ‘Bout Those Cowboys I inherited a predisposition for pain from my father, Ron, a born and raised Buffalonian with a self- mutilating love for the Buffalo Bills. As a young boy, he kept scrap books of the All American Football Conference’s original Bills franchise. In the 1950s, when the AAFC became the National Football League and took only the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and Baltimore Colts with it, my father held out for his team. In 1959, when my father moved the family across the country to San Jose, California, Ralph Wilson restarted the franchise and brought Bills’ fans dreams to life. In 1960, during the Bills’ inaugural season, my father resumed his role as diehard fan, and I joined the ranks. It’s all my father’s fault. My father was the one who tapped his childhood buddy Larry Felser, a writer for the Buffalo Evening News, for tickets. My father was the one who took me to Frank Youell Field every year to watch the Bills play the Oakland Raiders, compliments of Larry. By the time I had celebrated Cookie Gilcrest’s yardage gains, cheered Joe Ferguson’s arm, marveled over a kid called Juice, adapted to Jim Kelly’s K-Gun offense, got shocked by Thurman Thomas’ receptions, felt the thrill of victory with Kemp and Golden Wheels Dubenion, and suffered the agony of defeat through four straight Super Bowls, I was a diehard Bills fan. Along with an entourage of up to 30 family and friends, I witnessed every Super Bowl loss.

More impor- tantly, Taylor developed strong connections with the local, state, and national hotel and restaurant associations.

    Cover: Layla, a child living in Kara Tepe Refugee Camp in Lesvos, Greece, learns Greek, English and mathematics at METAdrasi’s non-formal education center. Love one another, for that is the whole law; so our fellow men deserve to be loved and encouraged— never to be abandoned to wander alone... From the Last Will and Testament of Conrad N. Hilton HONORING A Since the launch of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize in 1996, the Conrad N. FRONTLINE Hilton Foundation has received thousands of nominations for the Prize, which remains REFUGEE the largest of its kind in the world. Each nomination tells the story of an extraordinary ORGANIZATION organization doing courageous work that is focused on the alleviation of human suffering. And each year, our independent, international Hilton Humanitarian Prize jury selects one of these organizations to receive the $2 million award. From providing pathways out of poverty in Nairobi, Kenya, to solving key public health problems across the globe, the 24 Hilton Humanitarian Prize Laureates have been identified as organizations worthy of the world’s attention. We learn so much from our Prize Laureates, as they provide us with exceptional examples of how we can better address the needs of the communities we serve. We are delighted to award this year’s Hilton Humanitarian Prize to METAdrasi – Action for Migration and Development. METAdrasi supports the reception and integration of refugees and migrants in Greece where approximately 80,000 refugees currently reside—of which over 4,100 are unaccompanied children. The selection of METAdrasi by the Prize jury calls attention to both a global humanitarian crisis and the power of local organizations to develop innovative solutions to complex problems.

  • The American Football League Attendance, 1960-69
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) THE AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE ATTENDANCE, 1960-69 By Bob Carroll Most of what's been written about the "war" between the National Football League and the American Football League during the 1960's focuses on player signings. The account of strategies used by both league in obtaining the signatures of young players on often overly-lucrative contracts sometimes reads like a cloak-and-dagger thriller. Were these football players or nuclear weapons? Nevertheless, as entertaining as the war stories are, they represent only one theater of operations. Of equal -- in fact, greater -- importance was the AFL's struggle to get its attendance up to NFL level. With adequate game attendance, the AFL could sign its share of hotshot collegians, demand a TV contract on a par with the older leagues, and, most important, eventually bring about a merger of the two circuits. What follows is a brief look at the figures. 1960 TOT.ATT GAMES AVG POSTSEASON GAMES ----- --------- ----- ------ ------ ----- NFL 3,128,296 78 40,106 67,325 1 AFL 926,156 56 16,538 32,183 1 AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE -TEAMS TEAM RECORD FIN.

    Part V Barron Hilton Steps Up as Chairman of the Board cnhfconrad n. hilton foundation | page 125 3 Barron and Conrad Hilton REFLECTING ON THE GREAT ADVENTURE THAT HAS BEEN HIS LIFE, Barron Hilton in his opening essay calls his father, Conrad N. Hilton, “a very capable man with extraordinary faith, vision, and determi- nation.” These same words aptly describe Barron himself. Barron Hilton’s accomplishments are numerous and exceptional: far-sighted entrepreneur, founder of successful businesses, CEO of Hilton Hotels Corporation during three decades of dramatic growth and expansion. Recognized and respected as an aviator of distinction, in his 80s he still flies many types of single and twin-engine aircraft, helicopters, and gliders, and is an accomplished balloonist. He created, and continues personally to support, the most coveted prize in international glider competition. Additional pastimes include hunting, fishing, and photography. Father of eight and a philanthropist, he is a fabulous raconteur and stimulating to be around. Now largely retired from the fast-paced life as an international corporate executive, Barron has accepted the chairmanship of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. His leadership, together with his contributions of substantial financial resources, will enable the Foundation to increase its impact. conrad n. hilton foundation | page 127 Barron Hilton, Leading Benefactor of Sport Aviation Aviation has played a central role in Barron’s life. As a youngster, he often rode his bicycle from his home in Dallas to nearby Love Field, where he was mesmerized by the constant take-offs and landings.
