Hi Stormy,
I saw you broadcasting from the sideline Saturday night at the UCLA game. When I saw your name, I told my wife I’ll bet that she is Rich Buonanthony’s daughter. I played your fathers first year in rookie ball with your dad. I’d like to reach out and say hi. My number is 630-533-1177. We’re from Chicago but now live in Newport Beach. Also, just sold our other house in Chicago and bought a house in Sumerlin. We move in about a month.
Please have your dad reach out to me. Congratulations on your success so far.
