Coach with
winning ways
After a baseball game a few
years ago I was speaking with
the manager of my son's team
the Army. Navy Airforce
Braves. The conversation
turned to how long Terry had
been coaching kids in baseball;
we had already established that
Terry had coached three of my
wife’s brothers and now was
coaching the next generation.
I recounted that in the old
days. I had played with the
Deep Cove Bombers under
Mr. Quincy Russell. Terry said
that the first games he had
coached were with that team
when Mr. Russell had to miss

~ we realized that Terry had ac-
tually coached me that year for
_those last games of that golden
season so long ago.

Terry has the attitude that’
the game is for the kids to en-

be enlarged. And as such, he
enriches everyone who comes
in contact with him at the ball

through editorial control, the
