SWEDE HANSON

POSTHUMOUSLY

 

Accepting for Swede Hanson - his children:

BOBBY HANSON and LUANA LOREZCA

Rip Hawk, who flew to Charlotte from his home in Texas, brushed away tears when he thought of Hansen, his tag team partner for 16 years. Accompanied by Hansen's son and daughter, Hawk reflected, "He was more than a partner to myself. He was a brother, a friend -- you name it." Noted Gary Hart, who managed the duo: "They were a team the likes of which you don't see any longer."
