Charles Coleman has been keeping his 1957 Pony League baseball team informed about Hayden Russell who is now in Brentwood Place on Scyne Circle in Dallas. We have his telephone number if you would like to call. Charles claims to be the slowest afoot of any player on the team but the federal government process makes him look like Billy Karrh on steroids. Mike Pasierb and Charles have been helping him since he has been in several hospitals since his stroke on January 19.

How about those Lufkin Panther Baseball players. They have comeback for Coach Clay Berry and all of us to be in the play off games. Those last two games were exciting even listening to J.P. Heath and Josh Havard over the radio 100.1 KYBI. I hope that Ricky Dominguez is better after his accident in right field on Friday, which was the last home game and the seniors were recognized. They were: Justin Murphy, son of Charles and Kennetha Murphy; Roy Nolan, son of Alvin and Melody Nolan; Jeremy Tamez, son of Lee and Wendy Tamez; Ralph Thomas, son of Phyllis Hunt and James Thomas; Jordan Walls, son of Joan and Smokey Davidson, Jeff and Cyndi Walls, and Casey Fitzgerald (manager) son of Chris and Debbie Fitzgerald. The stands were full, and grandparents were there to watch as the sons presented their mother's flowers down on the field. The Lufkin Panther Baseball Banquet will be Monday, May 7 at Calvary Baptist Church Family Life Center at 6:30.
Grandson Tyler Jumper competed in the Major League Baseball Pepsi's Pitch, Hit and Run at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. He was in the 9-10 year age group and had the following results: Pitch - 2 out of 6 strikes for 150 points for first place; Hit - 110 feet for 220 points for second place; Run - 9.06 seconds for 244 points for first place with an over all total 614 points to put him in first place. The Sectional Competition will be on my birthday, May 20, at the Potomac Nationals' stadium. From there, he could go to the Sectional All Around Champions who qualify for the Team Championship to be held at the Washington Nationals' RFK Stadium. His dad, Charlie Jumper, put a PS on this and said that with just the two strikes that he threw in this competition, Tyler bettered his score from last year. Tyler's picture was in the Belvoir Eagle newspaper. On another baseball topic, Tyler is on the Mets Little League Team and pitched three full innings last week. He gave up one hit, two runs, four walks and had four strike outs. Two other players came in after him for an inning each to finish out the game in five innings winning 6 to 2. Tyler got the game ball from the coach for his efforts on the mound. The National Little League Association has instituted a mandatory pitch count this year that is designed to prevent young player's arms from being over used. At that pitch count, 57, he will now need to rest for two full days before he could pitch another game.
Grandson George Herde called to tell me that his Little League Team is the Texas Rangers and he is in New Canaan, Connecticut. Texas teams really get around!!!!
Bobbi Robinson had knee replacement surgery and is walking a mile a day. Their house at Crown Colony is for sale Bobbi says, but Ronnie says no. There is a sign in the yard so I guess Bobbi has won.
Ashley Bain Bowers, Bobbi Robinson and I went to Nacogdoches for the Hall of Commitment ceremony at the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority house. Ashley Bowers is the new Member Education Advisor; Roya Dinbali is the Chapter Advisor. I met Sandy Massey from Nacogdoches who was a charter member with me in 1967. Pledges in the fall from Lufkin were Sarah Brose and Rebecca McIlveene. Some faces in the picture composites that I recognized that were Fideles: Brenda Jackson Walker and Carlotta Lehman Hunt. Alpha Chi Omegas were: Gail Brown Carney, Linda Orth Poland, Julie Noland Castleberry, Bobbi Riassetto Robinson and her daughter Kathryn Robinson Williams. I know that there must have been some that we missed and I am sorry. The sorority will be 40 years old in May. They are planning a celebration. Sorry that more alums did not attend.
With the month of May comes outdoor cooking. I read in my Highways Magazine a quote: "If you intend to barbecue on the same day that you purchase a new grill, allow one hour of assembly time for each language that the instruction manual is written in."
Catch you around town. Janice Ann email:
