An article Tim found - with a picture of baseball Hall of Famer and LCC member George Wright.
Thanks Tim - that's what my hair might look like if I grew it that long!!! In the spring I'll show you a picture of me from my troubadour days around 1972 - a small "fro".
Forgot to mention this - is the golf course in Hyde Park named after George? More research for Tim after he's done smoothing out Howard's lumps at the B&T.
He's pretty amazing. He was the first ever batter in the National League and started Wright and Ditson's Sporting goods company. His brother is also in the mlb HOF.

John,
The golf course is! He donated 156 acres for it. Check out his bio on wikipedia:
