The Mallory Connection
When Mayor Mark Mallory presents a key to the city Saturday to the Isley Brothers and declares it Isley Brothers Day in Cincinnati, he'll be honoring former boys who were counseled at camp by his father. The Isleys are in their 50s and 60s now, but when they were kids growing up in Lincoln Heights, they went to a local kids' camp.
There, Mallory's dad, William Sr., was their counselor. The senior mallory was first elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1966 and stayed for 28 years.
"He said even when they were young they used to perform for the camp before lights out," the mayor said.
The brothers perform Saturday night at Music Hall.

Post a Comment*Since this is a political blog, may I suggest it would be appropriate, in the immortal words of the Isley Brothers to:
"FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE"
Seems no one wants to listen to "young minorities" !
The wRong wingnut whackos love to honor young men of only certain backgrounds!
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Also their hit "Shout" (You make me want to shout) should have been the theme song for the CDC meeting- shouting, jumping up and trying to get recognized by the chair if you weren't one of his "plants" didn't work.
