We saw Something Rotten in 2018, and it was the first musical we saw as season subscribers to our local theatre.
I loved it. As a lifelong fan of musicals, I appreciated all of the wink-wink, nudge-nudge references to the great musicals of the past. But I especially loved looking over and seeing Nick smiling…turns out you don’t need to have a working knowledge of musicals to enjoy this one.
In the story, a pair of playwrights (the “Bottom” brothers) are trying to get the edge on Shakespeare who is the theatre rockstar of the era. They visit a soothsayer who predicts that Shakespeare’s next big hit will be titled something like “omelette” or “ham omelette” (the vision is blurry). He also predicts that the next big thing in theatre will be musicals. The brothers set out to write Omelette: The Musical while Shakespeare goes on to write Hamlet. The egg musical flops and you all know what happened with Shakespeare’s play (which includes the line: "SOMETHING is ROTTEN in the state of Denmark" — clever).
About the Ornament
I coated the ornament with white pearlescent powder, and the bow is made from a red/green double faced satin ribbon tied with a red polka dot ribbon. (I used a green satin ribbon for the hanger.)
I tried to stay true to the illustration styling from the original playbill art for both the title and back design on this ornament.
For the back, I isolated one of the stage performers illustrated on the playbill (I think it’s supposed to be Nick Bottom, but I could be wrong) and made him into a line drawing..then I threw a rotten tomato at his feet.

KOM Flash Report
for week of
August 14 through 20, 2016.
Prologue:
This report was shared earlier in the week, in a draft mode, and only placed on Flickr. I was awaiting a formal obituary for, Frank Nickerson, the first person mentioned in this report. It never materialized. There were bits and pieces that had the deceased being as young as 91 and as old as 99 at his passing. I’m sticking with his age being 94 when he died. His military records show that he entered the Army on August 13, 1942 at the age of 20. That would support the 1922 birth year. That also coincides with a note received from his neighbor and friend that he was 94. Nickerson would have been in another six weeks.
The second part of the Flash Report, covering the August 14 through August 20 time- frame, was shared yesterday by e-mail and it was also placed on Flickr. If you missed it, here is that site: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/28898652555/
A lot of material was shared this week so I think I’ll not write another report until the readership consumes this one and “begs” for more. There is one update from the report that covered Robert Dean Dennany who had a one inning stint with the 1946 Miami, Oklahoma Blues. The article mentioned he had attended umpiring school and Jack Morris sent along a copy of his Sporting News card. He umpired in the Florida State league in 1949 and then went back to the Sunshine State in 1960 to umpire in the Florida Rookie league.
Now, on to the rest of the news, stories, gossip, facts and fiction. This report, in its updated form is on Flickr at: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/28771214452/

First news tip of the week---Death of Bobo the Clown
John - I don't know if Frank "Bobo" Nickerson ever played in the KOM league, but I am sure you remember his name. He performed as a baseball clown for several years in the Midwest. He died Wednesday last week at the age of 94. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Marilyn. - Dave Collins, neighbor of Frank and KOM report subscriber.
Ed comment:
One of the most famous former KOM leaguers no one ever knew was Frank Lee Nickerson. He was born in La Crosse, Wisc. in 1922 and was a veteran of WWII. He pitched for Chanute in 1947 and then pitched for both Chanute and Iola in 1950 when those two clubs had nearly the worst records in organized baseball. Their combined record was 70-173. Iola came out ahead of Chanute in the standing for they played five fewer games. Chanute thus played five more and lost them all.
When a player would be released by one of those teams he’d sign with the other. It was a good thing those towns were only 20 miles apart, it saved on travel money. One story made the rounds that 1946 Iola pitcher. Nick Alivojvodic, got thrown out of the game in the first inning in a game at Chanute. When the team was ready to head home they couldn’t find their pitcher. Upon arriving in Iola he was there and they asked him how he got home and his reply was “I walked.” Everyone knew he had to have hitched a ride. But, the first response made a better story.
There is voluminous information regarding Nickerson’s days as a baseball clown by searching for that on the Internet. www.google.com/search?rls=aso&client=gmail&q=Fran...
I believe the last newspaper article written about him was in July of 2015, for those without the ability to look things up on a computer here is that article.
By Michaela Bishop
Northeast News
July 1, 2015
KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Today, there aren’t many World War II veterans left alive. Luckily, there’s still Frank “Bobo” Nickerson of the Northeast.
When Frank turned 20-years-old, he and his neighborhood friends signed up for the military. From 1941-1945, Frank served in WWII as a member of the Army.
“We thought we would stay together but we didn’t stay together at all,” Frank said. “Some went to Europe, only two other guys besides me wound up in the Pacific.”
During his time spent in WWII, Frank was moved around quite a bit. Some of the locations he was sent to included: Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., Fort Jackson, S.C., New Guinea, and the Philippines. During that time, Frank suffered from excessive drinking and Battle Fatigue which is similar to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. According to Learner’s Dictionary, Battle Fatigue is “a mental illness caused by the experience of fighting in a war and causes extreme feelings of nervousness and depression.” He noted seeing guys, “blown apart, cut in half, and everything else,” as the cause of his illness.
“When I came back from the war I carried a pistol and didn’t trust anyone,” Frank said. “I went shopping downtown. This truck went ‘pow pow’ and I turned around like I had my weapon and I woke up. People were looking at me, I was embarrassed.”
While fighting, Frank was injured a few times — a concussion knocked him out for a few days and he was shot in the leg — but none were life threatening. He’s now confined to a wheel chair, but still manages to visit the Veterans of Foreign Wars [VFW] every week. He and the other veterans share their stories. Frank wants everyone to know the war was a very scary place.
“I’m lucky I’m still here,” Frank said. “I figured the man up there has something else he wants me to do. When the war ended, I went up on this hill by myself and got down on my knees and I thanked the man.”
Life After War
His time in the military isn’t the only thing he likes to talk about. For a few years after the war, Frank was also a baseball clown for the Philadelphia Phillies. Frank mentioned that when he performed at the games, he was more of a physical act, which included twirling the bat like a baton, standing on his head, and throwing baseballs at the players.
“One act I had was instead of stopping at third base, I continued to run and crashed into the left field fence,” Frank said.
His wife of 64 years, Marilyn Nickerson went to many of his performances and thought they were remarkable.
“As he first started out, his act was great, but every year I would go see him performing it was so much better than the year before,” Marilyn said. “His act was very comical and remarkable.”
For the first three years, Frank’s pre-game shows lasted 15 minutes, but they eventually increased to 30 minutes. As a child, Frank loved playing baseball. He was a pitcher for years, but eventually thought it was time to move on.
“As a kid I wanted to be a baseball player but then I learned it was just about the business and not the game,” Frank said. “In high school, I discovered I could be doing this other stuff on stage and so I was kind of torn between the two.”
Frank and Marilyn met after the war and recently celebrated 64 years of marriage on May 18, 2015.
“I met her at the Federal Reserve Bank and she was a teletype operator down there,” Frank said. “I was security down there and I knew all about her. We went a date and we went together for six months and then got married May 18, 1951.”
Marilyn suffers from strokes, but said Frank’s constant assistance is one of her favorite things about him.
“He helps me a lot because I had a stroke, and he goes and gets things so I don’t have to get up so much and walk around so much, because I fall,” Marilyn said. “He makes sure I’m okay. He just watches over me.”
The two did not have children, but do have a dog and a cat. They look forward to many more years together.
The Obituary for Frank Nickerson will be posted later this week. (But it wasn't available when this report was posted)
This is part of the planning for Nickerson’s “send- off”
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited by the family of Frank Nickerson to stand in honor of this hero at his services on Thursday, August 11, 2016, and to provide escort to his final resting place.
Mr. Nickerson served with distinction in the Pacific during WW II and was the recipient of a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

Death of a Whiz Kid—Ben Craig
Recently, an article was shared, from the Kansas City Star, that Ben Craig had only a short time remaining. He was one of the amazing young men Barney Barnett gathered to form a baseball team called the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids. Each of those fellows led amazing lives after their days in youth baseball.
One of the greatest rewards of starting the project to remember the KOM league was meeting so many people, some of which never played an inning in it but was a friend or teammate of someone who did. For example Craig was probably the oldest of the Whiz Kids when Mantle joined them as the youngest roster member. I got to know Ben Craig over the years and he was an outstanding person.
Obituary from Kansas City Star
www.kansascity.com/news/business/article94031117.html#sto...
Ben Craig, a leader in Johnson County business, civic and philanthropic circles for decades, has died. He was 87. (Ed note: Died 8/3/2016)
Craig had led the $12.9 million bond campaign that established Johnson County Community College. He founded the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce. He ran Metcalf State Bank for 35 years.
“Ben Craig has probably contributed as much to Johnson County as anyone who has lived here in modern times,” commentator Steve Rose said Friday.
Rose recently wrote a tribute to Craig in The Kansas City Star that recalled Craig’s athletic youth in which he played baseball with the 1948 Baxter Springs Whiz Kids that included Mickey Mantle, his late arrival to the game of golf and a long list of accomplishments in between and since.
In the 1950s, Craig was named Outstanding Young Man of the Year by the Kansas City, Kan., Jaycees and Man of the Year by the Kansas City, Kan., YMCA.
Craig’s involvement was pervasive, and more than once he came to mind when local groups created awards to recognize community leadership.
He was the first person honored by United Community Services as Johnson County Citizen of the Year, created in 1971. A year later, he and his wife, Evadean, became the first recipients of the Friends of Education award from the National Education Association of Shawnee Mission.
Others now receive the Ben Craig Distinguished Service Award from the Overland Park Rotary Club and the Ben Craig Vision Award, created by the Overland Park Economic Development Council. The latter has been received by impact players such as the four men who founded the Corporate Woods office park.
Craig’s community involvement — the Deanna Rose Farmstead, Salvation Army, Overland Park Heritage Foundation, Overland Park Museum Committee, Johnson County Water Resources Association, Johnson County Airport Commission, Greater Kansas City Sports Commission — adds to what amounts to a lengthy list.
“I’ve seen it, and it’s pages and pages, single-spaced,” Rose said.
Mary Birch remembered her first meeting with Craig. She’d just been hired by the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce.
“I was petrified. He was this amazing leader,” Birch said of their long-ago lunch. “He found out I loved Overland Park as much as he did.”
Later, they teamed up to start the chamber’s Leadership Overland Park program, and Birch said Craig “religiously mentored” the young leaders it helped establish.
Craig was among The Kansas City Star’s Top 150 Most Influential Persons in 2000. He was dubbed “Mr. Johnson County” by Sun Publications, one of the “Living Legends” in the Kansas City area by Ingram’s magazine and a “Kansas City Catalyst” by the Kansas City Business Journal.

Death of a member of the Alba Aces—Lynn Boyer
obituaries.joplinglobe.com/story/Lewis-Boyer-1935-2016-81...
Placing of the deaths of Ben Craig and Lynn Boyer was done purposely. Those fellows played at various times on amateur kid teams in the Gabby Street, Cardinal Junior and Southeast Kansas Ban Johnson leagues from 1944-52. Lynn and Ben didn’t play against each other due to age differences. However, Craig nearly killed Ken Boyer with a thrown pitch in 1948.
Yours truly first saw Lynn Boyer when he played a grade school game with his Alba team against Eugene Field school in Carthage. He was an 8th grader and I was in the 4th. That means the year was 1948. I recall being impressed by him for he was a left-handed shooter and let go of most of his shots from the center line of a “cracker box” gymnasium.
Nine years passed from that grade school game and the next meeting with Lynn is when we had classes together at Joplin Junior College. During class breaks and lunch hours there were always a few guys standing around listening to Lynn tell stories about his big brothers playing in the big leagues. For the first time in my life I heard a different side of major league baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals n particular. Lynn told of how the Cardinals mismanaged Cloyd’s career by making him pitch on short rest if they were in a series with the Brooklyn Dodgers. At that time Cloyd was about the only pitcher on the staff who had any luck against ‘Dem Bums.
From 1957 until 1964 I never heard anything about Lynn . At that time I was pastoring a church at El Dorado Springs, Mo. and Lynn had taken a teaching position at Walker which was just a few miles west of El Dorado Springs. After leaving Walker he moved on to Kansas City to work for Ford Motor Company and the only thing I knew about him in the intervening years was what Cloyd and Nadine Boyer shared .
Early this week I picked up the Joplin Globe and seeing a photo in the obituary column I was struck by how much Lynn resembled his older brother, Kenny. I read the obituary and couldn’t help but notice his place of birth. You all can read it too. When you do you’ll understand the running controversy I’ve had with those who are ordained baseball experts. Lynn was born in Cossville, MO in 1935 and two years later Cletis was born in the same town. However, any record book you look at claims that Cletis was born in Cassville which is 65 miles from Cossville. What do you think the chances were that between 1935 and 1937 the Boyer family moved from Cossville to Cassville? I rest my case and await the baseball experts to make that record book change. However, I won’t hold my breath. As Cloyd Boyer has told me many times he has attempted to get the place of his birth, Duval, and the site of Cletis’s birth changed and his pleas have all fallen on deaf ears and closed minds. (Ed note: Shortly after releasing the preliminary Flash Report I received this message. “I made the change to Clete Boyer's birth place.” This was from Bill Carle who has the power to do so.)
Lynn Boyer was born too late to have ever played in the KOM league but he saw many games at Carthage, Mo. and Pittsburg, Kans. for his older brothers, Cloyd and Wayne pitched for Carthage in 1946 and 1947 respectively.
The obituary:
Lewis "Lynn" Boyer, 81, of Carl Junction, Mo., passed away peacefully from this life in the comfort of his home on Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016.
Lynn was born April 22, 1935, in Cossville, Mo. north of Alba, the son of Chester Vern and Mabel Agnes (Means) Boyer.
After graduating from Alba High School in 1953, Lynn played first base in the St. Louis Cardinals' minor league system from 1954 to 1956. When his playing days ended, he earned a bachelor's degree from Pittsburg State University, in Kansas, in 1961. He was a full-time college student, also working a 40-hour night job at Eagle Picher, Joplin, Mo., to obtain his education.
Lynn became a coach for baseball and basketball, in addition to teaching biology and health. The schools he coached and taught in were: Walker High School, Walker, Mo. 1961-1965; Quapaw High School, Quapaw, Okla. 1966; Alba High School, Alba, Mo. 1967, also serving as principal; Carl Junction High School, Carl Junction, Mo. 1968-1969; Osceola High School, Osceola, Mo. 1970-1972. As a coach and teacher, Lynn always impressed upon his students the value of a good education.
In 1972, he began working as an apprentice lineman, later becoming a journeyman lineman through IBEW#53. Lynn began his career as an electrician for Ford Motor Co. in 1977 at Claycomo, Mo. and retired after 20 years in 1997. The last five years, while at Ford Motor Co., Lynn was an instructor at the KCAP Technical Training Center.
Lynn and Lyla June Love were married on July 6, 1973; Lyla, his wife of 43 years, survives. They made their home in Independence, Mo. and Blue Springs, Mo. prior to retiring in Carl Junction in the fall of 1997.
Lynn's hobbies were fishing, golfing, hunting, watching sports on TV and caring for his lawn.
Lynn is also survived by his children, Brenda Porter (Dave), Clinton, Mo., Mark Boyer, Independence, Mo., Terry Boyer (Kellie), Blue Springs, Mo., Rhenea Lyle (Chad), Oak Grove, Mo. Surviving grandchildren, Heather Tackett (Aaron), Amanda Himes (Dustin), Cody Boyer, Sarah Schlobohm (Tanner), Austen Boyer, Zachery Washam (Jacque) and Shelby Roberts (George). He is also survived by nine great-grandchildren.
A special blessing added to Lynn's life was being "Uncle Lynn" to Stephanie Seales Smith, Chance Seales and Spencer Miller.
He was gifted with being Payton and Lyla Mae Smith's granddad.
Preceding Lynn in death are his siblings, Lela Thelma, Ken Boyer, Clete Boyer and Lenny Boyer. His surviving siblings are Juanita Woodmansee, Cloyd Boyer, Wayne Boyer, Dolores Webb, Pansy Schell, Shirley Lockhart, Ronnie Boyer, Bobbi McNary and Marcy Layton.
Funeral services have been scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, at Frisco Church, in Webb City, Mo. Pastors Loyd Middleton and Matt Snyder will officiate. Burial will follow at Friends Cemetery, in Purcell, Mo. Those honoring Lynn's life by serving as pallbearers are Chance Seales, Matt Boyer, Rocky Schell, Cody Boyer, Austen Boyer, Cameron Snyder and Logan VanWey. Honorary pallbearers include Loyd Middleton, Ralph Gunlock, Bobby Williams, Joe Cook, Clyde VanWey, and Dave Collard. (Ed note: The church where Lynn’s funeral took place was once pastored by my second cousin and her husband. She was a Nealy and like me was a second and third cousin to Eddie Nealy Sr. and Jr. who were known for their basketball prowess from Webb City, Bonner Springs, KS, Kansas State Univ. and the Chicago Bulls.)
In lieu of flowers, the family request contributions to be made to either the ALS Association or to the Jimmy V. Foundation, in care of the mortuary.

Ed comment:
Born: Jackie Dean Butler--December 9, 1929 in Eureka, Kansas. This source first made contact with him in 2011. The newspapers of that era listed his hometown as Bachelor. It happened to be a township that included Eureka
Butler was a left-handed pitcher for the Miami Owls in late 1948 and then again in 1949 before joining the Chanute Athletics. He returned, in 1950, to play for the last Chanute team to have been a member of the KOM league.
Here is a word of warning to anyone who wishes to start their own research on the KOM league. Look out when it comes to the Butler boys. Jackie Dean pitched for Miami in 1948 and part of 1949 before being picked up by Chanute. Jackie returned to Chanute in 1950. Jackie had a brother by the name of Richard but the fellow pitcher of his at Miami and Chanute, in 1949, Richard Neil Butler, was a native of Ringsted, Iowa. He passed away in Murphy’s, California on January 20, 2011. Richard had also spent time, in 1949, with the Topeka, Kansas Owls before going to Miami. Richard left the Miami club on August 2, 1949 when he protested manager Omar Lane’s laxity of training rules. He wound up at Chanute.
An additional comment. The obituary stated Butler was signed by the New York Yankees. Had he done so he would have been on the pitching staff of the Independence, Kansas Yankees during the years he was in the KOM league. But that in no way detracts from his sterling military career.
When a former KOM leaguer passes away I share the information with Jack Morris of the SABR Necrology group. Here is how reporting appears on his site
Jack D. Butler, who played parts of three seasons in the KOM League, died on March 18, 2016, in Springfield, MO. Thanks to John Hall for finding Mr. Butler’s obituary.

From the Judge
Hi John -
Long time, no talk -- but I still read your KOM reports. Last night I was going through some old scrap books of my mother's and found an interesting telegram, dated June 7, 1947, from my father (then, Stanley Rosenblatt) to my mother, which reads in part: "I have been optioned to the Iola Cubs of the KOM league. This is good news!" I think you were the one who found
that my father spent some of that season with Iola, so when I read it, I thought of you.
Hope all else is good. If you want to see what I've been up to, Google "Judge Gerald Rosen" and "Detroit bankruptcy" or "Grand Bargain." My Tigers and my father's Cubs are showing signs of life. Could we have a repeat of the 1945 World Series -- one of the best in history in which the Tigers bested the Cubs 4 games to 3. Jerry Rosen
Ed reply:
Thanks for the note. Indeed I did find and advise you of your father's time with Iola.
The 1945 World Series had a KOM flavor. Charles Hostetler was playing in the Kansas Industrial league, at Wichita, when he joined the Tigers right out of that amateur league. He was the guy who rounded third and should have scored easily but he fell down costing the Tigers a win. He came to the KOM league in 1950 and managed the Chanute ball club. By that time he thought his life had come to an abrupt end. When it was announced Chanute was leaving the league at the end of that season he sat in a restaurant crying and trying to be consoled by one of his players, Bernie Tye.
I'll get online and look for further details on the Detroit situation. I have followed your work in that situation from the beginning.
For the newer readers to the Flash Report I submit to you this link to introduce you to Judge Rosen: www.google.com/search?q=judge+gerald+e.+rosen&oq=Judg...

We are "at the age" of obituaries on a far too regular basis. Rich lost his best friend, Al Ferrari and three more since that day. All around the same age. That is the cause of many moments of deep thought. You really should feel very good finding should keeping all this information. Many are very grateful. Barbara Eichhorst—St. Louis, MO
Ed note:
Al Ferrari, for all you youngsters, was a member of the St. Louis Hawks in the era when professional basketball was fun to watch. He played with the likes of Cliff Hagen, Charlie Share, Bob Pettit, et. al. and even Barbara’s husband, Rich.

John – We have duly read the Flash Report and the addition. You’ve been busy. Dave—in Austin, TX
Ed comment:
The reference “we have” in Dave’s note has to do with a former reader and mutual friend of Dave and I, Neil Gibson. Gibson was one of the biggest fans of the Flash Reports and when he passed away in 2012 Dave took on the burden of reading the reports and passing along the information to Gibson. I’ve never asked how that occurs but those two fellows were in Army Ranger training and they had a special bond which obviously contines.

Enjoy my reading time. Thomas Drake

Please send me Bob Fields mailing address. Tks. Jim Jay—Kansas City, MO
Conversation with Bob Fields and wife, Leyla
That note is a great segue into the next story. I mentioned in the last edition that Bob Fields was the lone surviving member of the 1946 Miami, Okla. Blues and would be celebrating his 94th birthday this month. As I looked up the address for Fields, to send to Jim Jay, I also checked to make sure he still had the same telephone number. Jim Jay, Bob Fields and Yours truly have something in common. Jay was the batboy for the Kansas City A’s in 1956-57, Fields was the batboy in 1937-38 for the Hutchinson, Kansas Pirates and most all of you know I tried it with the 1951 Carthage Cubs.
With the telephone number of Bob Fields in hand I called him. When he picked up the telephone he said “Hello, John Hall, I’ve been wanting to speak with you and thus the “talk-a-thon” commenced. When I told Fields he was the surviving member of the 1946 Miami club he replied “When did Bill Chandler die?”
For a man who will be 94 on the 27th of August he has no lapses in memory. After his batboy days at Hutchinson he was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates and both he and his brother, Gene, were on that team’s roster in 1941. Don’t look too hard in the baseball record books for such evidence for they were guys who get the nasty label of “less thans.” As I’ve always said there are no “less thans” when that same criteria is applied to guys who made it to the major leagues.
Field’s career was interrupted with the advent of WWII and both he and brother Gene went to serve their country. When Bob returned home after the war he reported back to Hutchinson but he was informed he was no longer a member of that organization. The man in charge at Hutchinson told him that if he still had an interest in playing that he should go to Miami, Okla. for they would hire him. That is what he did and Ted Vernon signed him to a contract on Msy 30, 1946. The contract called for a monthly salary of $120. However, the big money was in the bonus negotiated between Fields and the club. The following are the exact terms. “A bonus of $20 will be paid if player’s batting average is .280 or better at end of 30th game in which he participates.”
Well, sadly Field’s never received that bonus. A notation in the official files of the Miami Blues shows that on July 17, catcher Bob Field who resided at 201 W. 6th Street in Hutchinson, Kansas was released.
While at Miami Field was the roommate of Joe Beran with whom he had played with and against in baseball contests in Western Kansas. Beran was one of five brothers and each of them played professional baseball, sans one, and the one who didn’t, could have. Field recalled that when he played on the same team with the Beran brothers it was fun but when he opposed them it wasn’t so much so. He said they were nice guys but on the baseball diamond they were mean and tough. It would be easy to go in a different direction at this point regarding the Berans but that is a story for another time. Three of the Beran brothers played in the KOM league. Joe Beran started out as a pitcher and could throw very hard. However, Field recalls he couldn’t throw a curve ball and thus became an outfielder. That gave me a thought. A player who can’t hit a curveball becomes a pitcher and a pitcher who can’t throw a curveball becomes a position player.
During our conversation, Field’s wife, Leyla, came home and he put her on the telephone. She wanted to share with me the great joy received when she got to attend the KOM league reunions. She is a remarkable lady who plays piano and organ, not only at her church each week but she and Bob travel to nursing homes, assisted living facilities and special needs centers where she shares her talent.
Leyla picked out the organ for the First Presbyterian Church in Hutchinson and she also had a grand piano in one room in their home and a church organ in another. Bob told me Leyla has played for churches the past 89 years. Yes, 89 years. She was also a music teacher for 30 years. Still writes, produces and plays for the Christmas pageants each year at First Presbyterian. I asked her how much longer she planned on doing so and she said that her eyesight was failing and didn’t think she should do it much longer. Someone recently asked her how she felt about her age and she came up with this. “I don’t know how I am supposed to feel at this age for I haven’t been this old before.”
One item that arose from both Bob and Leyla was in regard to Jimmy Hayes. He was a classmate of Bob’s at Hutchinson who also signed to play for the Pittsburgh Pirate organization. They were teammates in 1941 and Hayes went on to have some good years in organized baseball even after WW II. During one of the KOM league reunions held in Columbia, MO they invited their friend to attend for he lives in the same town from whence all these reports emanate. Bob said that they exchanged Christmas cards each year but for the last couple of years he hadn’t heard from Hayes. He was asking me if I knew anything about him. I told Bob that I’d check. At that juncture Bob remarked “If he is dead I don’t want to know it.”
Taking what Field was requesting I told him that I would see if Hayes was still around and if so I’d let him know. On the other hand I told Field that if his old friend had passed on I’d never mention the issue again. After about five days I haven’t had any sightings of Hayes.
Well, that is a brief summary of my conversation with the lone surviving member of the 1946 Miami, Owls. I did come across the obituary of his younger brother, Gene, and since it mirrors the life of Bob, to some degree, I’m attaching a Find- A- Grave URL

We saw Something Rotten in 2018, and it was the first musical we saw as season subscribers to our local theatre.
I loved it. As a lifelong fan of musicals, I appreciated all of the wink-wink, nudge-nudge references to the great musicals of the past. But I especially loved looking over and seeing Nick smiling…turns out you don’t need to have a working knowledge of musicals to enjoy this one.
In the story, a pair of playwrights (the “Bottom” brothers) are trying to get the edge on Shakespeare who is the theatre rockstar of the era. They visit a soothsayer who predicts that Shakespeare’s next big hit will be titled something like “omelette” or “ham omelette” (the vision is blurry). He also predicts that the next big thing in theatre will be musicals. The brothers set out to write Omelette: The Musical while Shakespeare goes on to write Hamlet. The egg musical flops and you all know what happened with Shakespeare’s play (which includes the line: "SOMETHING is ROTTEN in the state of Denmark" — clever).
About the Ornament
I coated the ornament with white pearlescent powder, and the bow is made from a red/green double faced satin ribbon tied with a red polka dot ribbon. (I used a green satin ribbon for the hanger.)
I tried to stay true to the illustration styling from the original playbill art for both the title and back design on this ornament.
For the back, I isolated one of the stage performers illustrated on the playbill (I think it’s supposed to be Nick Bottom, but I could be wrong) and made him into a line drawing..then I threw a rotten tomato at his feet.
One of my subscribers on youtube asked me to make a video showing how I made fake blood, so I took these so the fake blood wouldn't go to waste. The video will be up on youtube soon, so check it out!

I think this was about the first subscriber-owned apparatus that Bell sold (even though the note on the bottom says they retain ownership of the "guts"), and I just had to have the thing. Unfortunately, it was something my uncles couldn't "acquire" for me, and I think I paid Southern Bell something like $40 for it, which was outrageously expensive in 1975. I used it a couple of years, then got tired of using both hands to hold it, and put it up on a closet shelf. I think I've kept it all these years because I thought the parts might come in handy for restoring a real candlestick someday. At least the dial is an original type 6U41, made 6-75. I'm surprised they made them that late. I had figured that WE had a warehouse full of old dials and designed the phone around them to try and get rid of them.
