Kimberly: I am sure that Sue would like to see anything that the kids do, especially if it is baseball-related. I assume that you are a teacher by reading your e-mail? And, I take it that you and your family have been touched by Steve Cosgrove and the BOYS OF BASEBALL - NATIONAL TRAVEL TEAM, as we have. We were fortunate enough to go to Cooperstown Dreams Park and to Gainesville, Flordia and be a part of something that has remained fond in our hearts to this day. Every time I mention the great time we had and all the wonderful people and teammates we met (Steve, Gene "Boxcar" Blackwell, and the California gang), it brings a tear to my eyes and a great fondness to my heart. I will always have all the pictures and videos of the games to go back to and reflect on. It was one of the best times we (Sue, myself, and Donald) could ever have had, and I will always remember it. I was telling Steve the other day on the phone, how Donald still remembers and uses the sayings and life lessons we were introduced to by Steve and Gene during our stay in Cooperstown. I use them in my coaching varsity HS players every chance I get. I pray everyday that there will be some Divine Intervention for Sue, and I am thankful that with this terrible condition, she is in no pain. Thank you for your prayers. I look forward to seeing the artwork from the kids.
