Comment on George and “The Pride of the Yankees” by Bob Balson

He had heroes like all of us. One was Hopalong Cassady of Ohio State. George hired him to work for the Yankees. Hop was very proud to be a part of the Yankees.

My name is John Hartline. I live in Pittsburgh. I have been searching in vain for tales of life in Bay VIllage. I was raised there until the age of 7. We lived on Osborn. I went to Glenview while it was still an elementary school. Your writing is brilliant and passionate. I miss Bay, and what my life might have been if we had stayed. Perhaps I reminisce too much for my own good. Bay Village has al almost mystical quality that is beyond description. Fall days still take me back to walks on Huntington Beach with my dad and trips to the Junior Nature ScienceCenter. The fall air was a mix of lake and burning leaves. It would be one of the pleasures of my life if you would correspond with me via email. I want to learn about Bay in the 50′s when my parent bought their home, the 60′s when I was just an infant/toddler and the 70′s as I grew. Please write me back so you can share these things.
SIncerely Yours, John Hartline jshartline3@verizon.net

I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I will miss reading her blog and I know that you will miss her; my sincere sympathy to you and your family. R.I.P. Ms. Schriner.

Comment on Miss Rheingold 1952, and the Crown goes to… by Celeste Yarnall

I would love to connect with Anne also as I was the last elected Miss Rheingold in 1964. I am working on a book proposal to historically cover the whole 25 years of the election beginning 1940 up to my year 1964. It would be wonderful to chat with Anne. I also have a Facebook Miss Rheingold page as well as my personal page.

Mary Jane,
I met Uncle Charlie and Helen twice. Your Dad’s brother (Ray) was my Grand-father. I found this by chance while looking for my relatives.
I have pictures of the “Elster garage” in Cleveland and some of me with your Dad when I was..about 6-7 years old.

Would appreciate it to be able to contact Anne. We were in te same class together at Holy Innocents. Bill Delaney (another classmate) and I both live in Virginia now, both married, retired. Have some news on former male classmates, but nothing on female classmates, presumably because of marriage names.

Comment on A Brief Introduction by Lawrence Belkins

I would say since the letters were kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame that a collector would pay top dollar. As a matter of fact if you do decide to sell please contact me at your earliest opportunity.

MJ, those letters are very valuable. If you do sell them to a collector hopefully they can be seen by all us. As a New York resident I apologize for the behavior of the Yankees. After reading your stories I feel much better about George as a person. He seemed to be very fond of you. Best of luck.
