Member of the Hall of Heroes Class of 2007 PENNY BANNER
Banner, who also has fought serious health issues in recent years, experienced a reunion of sorts when she was introduced to the audience by Baby Doll (Nickla Roberts), the daughter of Lorraine Johnson. Banner and Johnson were a top tag team, in addition to her singles crown. In an entertaining and heartfelt speech, Roberts referred to Banner as a trailblazer. "It was a time in history when women were starting to have power. Lorraine Johnson and Penny Banner -- man, they tore it up!" Banner took the occasion to bring her friendship with Johnson full circle. "Little did I know that 48 years after I first saw my partner, Lorraine Johnson, that twinkle in her eye would present me with an award." -Steve Johnson, August 11, 2007 from "Carolina Fanfest unveils “Hall of Heroes” Slam!
