I’m missing sports big time. Spring is my favorite time of the year. I was so looking forward to the first Kennett High versus Fryeburg Academy track meet; watching the hometown baseball and softball teams take to the diamond. Watching the tennis teams compete against their opponents and the typical April winds that make the sport a challenge at times. The lacrosse teams were fired up and ready to go. Varsity girl’s lacrosse was ready to make its mark.
All of that is on hold for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, Lloyd Jones, for your April 6 article in Conway Daily Sun about missing MLB. Furthermore for including your favorites of each major league team. I, too, remember Thurmond Munson , a great catcher N.Y. Yankees and the tragic plane crash. Am a lifetime baseball fan nurtured by my father beginning with the Boston Braves.....Paula Callahan
