John had the best job in the world, when he got the foul balls off the roof of Grayson Stadium. My grandfather took me to many games. My wife, Dolly, and I are friends of Audrey and Hadley's and Jim's families and Walt was one of my longtime friends from church league basketball and Pittman Park Church.
