Ted,

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Weaver, as he was a great friend of yours. Thanks for sharing these precious memories with us...I enjoyed them very much.

RIP Jack

Thanks again guys for all your very considerate and sincere words.


Jeff......Jack was right regarding the Diamond Stars (DS) High # series (card #s 97 - 108). These cards were the last ones for me when I completed my set.
Furthermore, most collector's DS want lists invariably needed some, or all, of these 12 cards.


One more story to share with you. Every November, the Philadelphia A's Historical Society would sponsor a Members Breakfast Gathering that would feature
former A's players (Lou Brissie, Eddie Joost, Bobby Shantz. Gus Zernial, etc.). Jack and I occasionally attended these Gatherings. Fall of 2002, Jack called to
tell me that the keynote speaker at the A's gathering will be Connie Mack III. This was certainly a definite Breakfast for us.

The former U.S. Senator from Florida, Connie Mack III thrilled us for more than an hour with stories of his famous Grandfather. Afterwards I had a chance to
talk with Connie. A really down-to-earth guy to converse with. Plus, he signed my 1950 A's Program celebrating Connie Mack's 50th Anniversary.
