| Dave Gural, my old classmate, churchmate, scoutmate, workmate and teammate, sent this picture of our 1959 Little League baseball team. This is the Midland Bombers. Note from me: With the exception of Ken Spoerl, I'm the tallest kid on the team. I was 5' 6" or 5' 7" then. I'm 5' 8" today. What's up with that? |

| Dave neglected to write down
names in 1959 because "you'll always remember, right?" Sooo, he and
I put our heads together, virtually speaking, and came up with most of the
names. Thanks to Terry Ripoli for writing and filling in most
of the rest of the names. Only missing the one on the right front.
Starting in the back row left to right:
Tim Houghtaling, Pat Shannon, Terry Ripoli, Mike Harrison, Curt Miller, Jimmy M. Smith, Gordy Hansen, Larry Townsend, Ken Spoerl
Front: Steve Heyer, Larry
Neumann, Greg Ewing, Dale Petrich, Dave Gural, John Cooper, Barry
Bainbridge, I forget. The adult on the left is Larry Neumann's dad,
Jim Neumann. The coach on the right is Harold Heyer.
