I received a call from Henry's son today. Sadly, Henry passed away yesterday at the age of 97. I had just talked with Henry a week ago Friday and he sounded wonderful as always.
His son told me that his dad had showed the pennant to everyone he knew--he was so proud of it! They even took pictures of it and sent them to all of his family. This week, Henry entrusted his son to keep the pennant to remember his baseball days.
Thank you very much to the original poster as well as Chris for showing me this pennant existed and pointing me in the right direction to pick one up. We really made a difference in this man's life.
