PVBL: Larimer Knights
Trouble in Larimer

June 19, 1999

A Loveland Reporter-Herald reporter was sitting outside Larimer Knights owner John Dybala's office waiting for an interview with the owner who has seemingly disappeared as his team goes down the toilet. Suddenly, a loud argument broke out nearby that ended with team VP of Operations Linda Bechberger storming out of a nearby office in tears, walking briskly into the owner's office, and then storming out. As the reporter entered the owner's office, a small glint of light caught his eye. Sitting on Dybala's desk was an engagement ring.

The next morning, the team announced that Dybala will be talking with other PVBL teams in the near future in an effort to return the team to its former glory. It was also announced that Bechberger has left the club for a managerial position with a Fortune 500 company. There was no confirmation of a rumor that the company is McDonald's and Bechberger will be returning to her former position as a crew manager at a McDonald's in Fort Collins.

Asked if she would be returning to the team, Dybala shrugged. "I don't know. That's the best answer I can give you right now. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a lot to do."
