The Story Behind "Glory"

Hank- I've had some obstacles (mostly health related) come up recently that made me think I had to step away from the Hobby and even the Game I love so much.

You got me back with the fantastic memories you shared.

Thank You,

Your Friend,
Raymond

He actually liked almost all of what we had done, it turned out, but couldn�t stand listening to the segment with Jimmy Austin, the oldest player Ritter interviewed. Austin died less than a year later, the only one of the players who didn�t live to see the book.

Awesome read! Thanks so much. But I don't quite understand the above. Was it because Larry was sad that Jimmy passed away before the book came out?

No, he thought Jimmy's voice made it too hard for people to understand what he was saying.
