I played on H.S. teams from my Freshman thru my Junior years, putting it down for a number of years till playing on the Pensacola Scratch Tour for about 10 years and as an amateur on a mini pro league for a while. My father passed in 2017 but my mother who is 95 is still alive - she has her health issues but is quite lucid mentally. I spend lots of time with her these days helping her get around - of course cherish the time I have left with her. If you know me from my school days, I would love to hear from you! cell 850 712-3256 land line 850 453-3022
