Years later , after MaryAnn passed away , I met my wife , Margie , in 2009 . We were both widowed , and we met through playing golf . Margie grew up in Bennington , and we spent a good deal of time there . We spent our first summer together in Woodstock , which was wonderful , and we actually got married at the Hubbell Homestead in Bennington . While we were in Bennington , we were invited to play at the Ekwanok Golf Club , and now we are members . We ’ ve been members for the past ten years , and we have a house in Manchester Center , where we spend a good amount of time during the warmer months . Every time we drive to Vermont and cross the state line , it feels like we ’ ve driven into another country . You see the mountains and everything is so peaceful , quiet , and beautiful .

Why is it important for you to lend your services to local community athletic events and meet face-to-face with aspiring athletes ?

A : When I was a kid growing up in rural Michigan , there was a major league player that happened to have a connection with one of my relatives in nearby Grand Rapids . I got a chance to meet him , and he gave me one of his old gloves , which was a wonderful moment . I ’ ve always enjoyed connecting with people around baseball , and I always wanted to talk to players that had been successful when I was younger . If I have a chance to help people with what I have to say , I feel like that ’ s part of being a good citizen . I love to help kids and minor
