Hondo hardwood version of Duke, a legend of deeds (c) 1981 Boston Globe ; WESTON, Mass. Can a retired sports great with fame, wealth, respect, good health, a beautiful family and no pressing professional obligations find happiness in suburban Weston? "People often seem to have this stereotype of the retired ball player as an unhappy person," said Beth Haviicek But don't worry about John Haviicek, the 41-vear-old former Celtic star who left the boards four years ago. The man knows how to make it, and he also knows how to enjoy it. new house in Weston is part but only a part of John havliceks new life. - ■ During his playing career, he and his wife, Beth, maintained 'two homes. One was near Boston first in Medford and then in \Jeston The other, in their native Ohio, was the one to which he .‘-planned to retire. * But it did not work out that way. "He played here 16 years and the kids were in school here. The assumption was that we d go back to Ohio, but we felt at home -here in the Boston community. In the end there was no decision," said Beth, an athletic, strong-minded woman with sleek blond hair. So two years ago, the Havliceks went househunting here for something permanent and big. "This house has two of everything," said John, with a wry matter-of-fact drawl that punctures any hint of pretention. The new house is a warren of rooms of identifiable gender. The French provincial style foyer and dining room and the chinoiserie living room, all done in pastels soft as ice cream, are opulently feminine, reflecting Beth’s flair for color and design. The den, with its leather furniture, the Western-style family room and the trophy room look comfortable and masculine. When the John Wayne movie “Hondo” came out in the ’sos and Haviicek was at Ohio State, his classmates tagged him Hondo. The nickname endured among his fans. So has the comparison of the two men. Both have epitomized a brand of masculinity characterized by few words and bold deeds, the kind of reticent sincerity and courtesy that comes from strength rather than weakness. - John Haviicek, the devoted family man and superb athlete in fact may embody the true John Wayne image more closely than did the late actor. ‘ This sense of one American legend grafted upon another is most acute when John is relaxing in his cowboy boots and Western-style clothes in the Haviicek family room, a hideout that the Duke would have admired. Navaho blankets, Indian ceremonial dolls and Western paintings line the walls. John even is building a collection of snips.of different styles of barbed wire. "Maybe I’m an old cowboy,” drawled John with a playful smile, as he pointed out a cowboy statuette atop the TV. Or maybe John Haviicek just knows how to enjoy life and his own fantasies. The decor also reflects the travels of the Havlecek clan, who regularly crisscross the country in their 31-foot camper, picking up art and souvenirs en route. John has no interest in buying a vacation home "because then you’d feel you have to stay there With a trailer you have a traveling home.” John acquired his love of travel from his years on the basketball circuit and says this is one example of how sports expanded his enjoyment of life. “I went from a small town of 200 people to living in Boston. My first 18 years of life I visited four states, but since basketball, I’ve been to every state in the Union.” An athlete must be, single-minded. John’s retirement has allowed the family to expand its interests. “I have a lot of different involvements now,” said John. The fact that the Haviicek children were only 5 and 8 when their dad retired has been the key to this new life. "A lot of guys have their kids when they’re young players and they’re gone alot. And then when they retire they hardly know them.” John spends a lot of time skiing, camping and fishing with his tow-headed son and daughter. Adoration and awe shines from their eyes as they crane their necks back to address their 6-foot, 6-inch dad, and an invitation to sit in his lap produces ear to ear grins. There is, of course, a hoop set up in the driveway, where John shows Chris, 11, some basketball moves. (Chris plays with the Wayland youth basketball program and earned the “Mr. Hustle Award.") But John eyes with suspicion the new electronic "ballgames” that his children also like to play. “I’ve never been into electronic games ... or even Monopoly,” he saidas his daughter Jill. 8, snuggled up to him in an easy chair while bleeping away on a computerized version of “football.” The Haviicek phone rings constantly. In a typical week, John

will get a half dozen requests for appearances for charities and the ones he accepts do take him away from home. So do his business interests, which include a Wendy frandiaise in Westchester, N.Y., and promotional work for Xerox. “We’re very busy outside the home,” said Beth. But like many families with a relatively new house, the Havliceks also have tried to put their stamp on the place through remodeling. They knocked out a ceiling in the family room and added a cathedral ceiling and beams and stucco to emphasize that Western look. Bathrooms have been converted into minispas, with a steambath and a Jacuzzi recentlj added. John has made himself a magnificent trophy ro«n. Jill, at the age where she likes to count everything, excitefy announced, “Dad has 251 trophies!” She’s probably the only one still counting. John culled through thousands of photos and bits of memorabilia, including five Sports Illustrate covers, for pictures for his wall. The famous Haviicek meticulouiness shows in the perfectly spaced and plumb relationship of thedozens of picture frames. John admitted spending a month getting everything just right. “I measure a lot.” Lovingly enshrined amid the trophies is the gleamingly restored Victorian cash register from his late lather’s small town general store. When it rang and sprung open at John’s familar touch, Jill dropped her computer game. “It works! It work;!” she sang. “Oh, please Daddy, show me how! ” “No, Jill. This is an old special thing. I don’t vant you and your friends playing with it,” her Dad responded firmly. John fingered the ornate scrollwork fondly. “We’ll ntver see that workmanship again.” Despite all the gleaming trophies, Beth said tlat the Celtic championship they have enjoyed the most was the hst one the one in which John didn’t play. “We could share tie excitement without all the terrible anxiety.” John worked very hard at basketball throughout kis career. Now, when asked if he missed the challenge, he exclaimed, “I’ve been challenged all my life. When I played basketball, I had to win every time. Every time I had to do better than the last. Now I can play golf and if I lose —so what! ’’ A smile slowly played across his face as he looked across the elegant livingroom to the baby grand piano, where Jill wrestled with the keyboard after only two months of lessons. “I like this lifestyle,” he drawled, savoring the understatement.

Worry Clinic

lisa’s problem is far too common! But did you ever hear about that “boudoir ghost” from any female writer? It takes a man to explain male sex psychology! CASE Y-649: Lisa D., aged 4, has a problem stepfather. “Dr. Crane,” her mother protested, “Carl was very devoted to Lisa during our courtship and first few months after the honeymoon. “Then he began to criticize her unduly until she even asked me why Daddy didn’t love her any more. “Dr. Crane, he has also become fault finding with me, too, but why does he take out his anger on little lisa?” BEDROOM GHOSTS This is just another example of the havoc that a “boudoir ghost” can produce when a woman marries a second time! For that 2nd husband is far more jealous than the usual wife ever dreams of. Most wives calm down a great deal in their honeymoon fervor, especially if they are busy careerists from 9 to 5. Or if they are working 12 hours per day in the varied role of housewife, mother, cook, laundress, chauffeur of kiddies, plus grocery buyer and often bookkeeper for their mates. But the 2nd husband seldom considers these drains on her energy. Thus, she is so weary by bedtime that she can fall asleep almost instantly. Yet the new husband still expects her to react with the fervor of their honeymoon. No normal wean an can do so unless she prods herself

via strong caffeine drinks at dinner. Or deliberately feigns passion to keep his male ego up to par. If he has married a virgin and she thus wanes in her boudoir cheesecake role, he may irritably call her frigid. But if she has been married previously, he becomes a victim of the “boudoir ghost” of her former sex partner! “She must be carrying the torch for her ex-husband,” her current mate,thinks. “He must have been more virile and exciting in the bedroom than lam!” Thereafter this “boudoir ghost” makes a bitter, ego deflated mate out of her 2nd husband. So he begins to beat down her ego to gain revenge. First, he becomes caustic and hypercritical. Then he may even walk a step or two ahead of her when they are out in public, to show his disdain and thus affront her before her friends. Finally, in his bitterness of soul, he even attacks her children by the former marriage, hoping thereby to reduce her to tears. Yet Lisa’s stepfather was soon restored to his former loving, devoted state when her mother banished that “boudoir ghost” by feigning far more, fervor and delight in the boudoir cheesecake function. If you are a 2nd wife, send for my booklet “How to Prevent Male Impotence,” enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25C . ( Always writ# to Dr. Crane, Hopklni Bldg., Mellon, Indiana 47956, enclosing a long stampad. addressed envelope and 251 to cover typing and printing costs when you send tor one ol his booklets.)
