Well, I made a plea for information from local sports' personnel at all levels, and after returning home from a Berlin High School Track and Field Meet, I had about 10 emails with stories and pictures to condense into one SSS. Thanks to all who contributed and you know we will do the best wecan to get as much of it in as possible.
Tonight I get to see my three buddies, Liam and Owen (Farm League) and Oliver (T-ball) play their games at the two fields in Gorham. I can't wait!
