I'm very impressed that Stephen would get out there with a lot of bigger kids and run!!! That can be very intimidating. At the Mesquite rodeo, they let all the 10 and unders go down onto the umm-gee-I don't know what it is--place where they do their thing--anyway and they let a little calf out with a ribbon taped on him and a kid has to grab the ribbon. It's amazing how fast those calves can move. But it terrified Ammo-all those kids and dust and the little calf bleating.

We always told ourselves that they may not remember the specific event but that somehow the whole aura of those family times would stay with them. And I think it's true. Stephen did a special thing with his Dad. That feeling will be there forever,of you and him, even if the actual facts fade away.

Back in the Fifties my father had some ties with Hart Schaffner and Marx clothing firm. They had box seats behind the Chicago White Sox visitors dugout. He got the seats for a game with THE YANKEES.

I was too short to see over the wall so I got to sit on the Yankees dugout. Since the Yanks beat the Chisox 16 to 1 I got to talk to Stengel, Maris, Mantle, Ford, Berra, Kubec, Richardson, and several I can't remember or spell. If I only had enough smarts to ask for a signed ball .....
