| 2008, 30 years later. "Can you believe it?"
I saw Coach Bill Perry last week. He was older and fuller and he remembered me. He grabbed me and hugged me and reminded me of what could have been. He is coaching Rebul Academy Baseball, which at the time had a 0 and 9 record. I suggested a more regimented scouting program. He agreed and said he wished he had the talent that our class possessed. The fact that I ran into this legend of a man remains with me to this day. The fact that he remembered me is more astounding. Most of my memories of school relate to baseball. To have the "Man" come up to me 32 years later and hug my neck and remember my name is hard to fathom. The "Man", "Moose", "The Boss", whatever you want to refer to him as, is alive and well. Baseball was my life. I wanted to pitch for ST.LOUIS. I felt so out of shape when he hugged me. I felt ashamed and, of course, so out of shape. I send this update with my only regret to our class: I wanted to play baseball. That was what I was born to do. Everything that is good in my life today, came from this man's teachings. He is an inspiration, not only to our generation, but to all that follow. I only wish that I could play the game, today, under his coaching. I still travel all over the country. I am getting tired
of the same old cities, but I try and look for the positive in each
of them.
My readings have inspired me to write myself. If I decide to write a book based on our class, I, of course will need all of you to give me permission to do so. It may be based on fact, or it may be based on fiction. The response that I get from you all will decide that. If we have a reunion, keep this in mind. My Dad, and his
"Provine High School" Class are getting a reunion together for their "50TH"
Reunion.
Thank you Jonna Welch for editing my first short story. You were a Godsend. It went over very well. My second story has been submitted to Lorian Hemingway for consideration. The following is a revised update to my favorites: Favorite Time: Alone at home writing stories.

My new hobbies are playing the stock market, buying certificates of deposit, investing in people as well as stocks with high dividends and listening to music that has substance and meaning. My goal is to retire at 55 and travel to all of the places that I will not see before then. I look forward to making sure my nieces and nephews have whatever they want when they start their lives. (They love their "Uncle Chuck"), especially at birthdays and holidays. Oh well, you are going to spend it anyway. You can't take it with you so have fun sharing. |
