We Remember...
| We are saddened to learn of
the passing of Baseball Great Ted Williams, who died in Florida on July 5
at the age of 83. Long remembered as
a two-time MVP and Hall-of-Famer who twice won
the Triple Crown, he is less well-known for his career as a Marine
Corps pilot in World War II and the Korean War. His achievements on the
field were matched by those in the air, flying the F9F Panther in 1952,
after which he re-joined the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Harbor-Tunnel was
named in his honor in 1995. He will be missed. Read what US Senator John Glenn had to say about having had Ted Williams' as his Wingman during the Korean War. The list of Ted's accomplishments is too long to list here, but you can learn more about him at the following websites:
