Baseball Boys Get Together


A few of the early sixties baseball team got together at The Bird's Nest for their monthly lunch. All the talk was about Billy Martin and how he is coming along after his operation for pancreatitis. It seems that after many setbacks Bill is on the road to recovery which will take a long time. He is at St. Clare's and I am sure he would like a visit.

This was my second get together with the boys and I did not play baseball with them. I'm there as a recorder of these events and also to keep all Feildians aware that the double blue spirit lives on. Donny Yetman, Doug Squires, Russ Grimes, Dave Hall (pitcher extraordinaire), Dick Cook, Chris Facey (bat boy, who says he coached and Charlie Riddle was the BB), Ian Tulk ( brought us up-to-date on Bill's progress) and Bob Noseworthy (soccer and hockey player).

Many other names were brought up at the lunch such as Suitcase Simpson. Anybody know who he is? We'd like for other Feildians who played ball or other sports to join us for a chat and a bite to eat. My e-mail address is: peter.chalker@gmail.com

There are lots of activities happening at the school as we celebrate our 165th. year. On Nov. 10th. the school will be laying a wreath at the war memorial in memory of all Feildians who died in war. Call the school for details and to see if you can help. Get involved! 722-3103
