AegeanBlu Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Does anyone know if former Chicago Bear owner George "Papa Bear" Halas was greek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylaw Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 George Halas was the son of Lithuanian immigrants. Lithuanians and Greeks often have similar sounding and looking last names. For example, a lot of people thought that Johnny Unitas was Greek. He was also Lithuanian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylaw Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The San Antonio Spurs were founded and first owned by Angelo Drossos, a multimillionaire. He sold the franchise in the late 70s or early 80s and made a huge profit on his investment. His parents had the B & B Restaurant (for Basili and Basiliki) in San Antonio, which had ten tables and ten stools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
