Els orígens del Beagle són confusos i remots. L'any 350 a. de C. Jenofonte ja descrivia a uns gossos de tipus sabueso (hound en anglès)que coincideixen en la majoria de detalls amb el Beagle. Segons es creu van ser els romans qui els van dur a Anglaterra com caçadors de conills i una vegada allí van ser creuats amb gossos de tipus sabueso del lloc. Els Talbot Houndson són considerats els ancestres del Southern Hound, el Beagle, i el Foxhound. Entre el 1300 i el 1400 els Beagles van arribar un elevat grau de popularitat entre els monarques britànics. Eduard II i Enric VII ja tenien gossades de Glove Beagles, anomenats així per la seva reduïda grandària, fins i tot cabien en un guant. Isabel I tenia Beagles que amidaven fins a 22 centímetres. Les gossades de sabuesos eren populars en gairebé totes les grans propietats campestres. Cap al 1400, els Beagles ja s'havien estès per Gran Bretanya, Itàlia, Grècia i França augmentant així la seva popularitat. Sobre el 1700, existien dos tipus de sabuesos especialitzats en la caça del conill: el Southern Hound, i el més veloç North Country Beagle. A causa del gran auge que estava experimentant la cacera de la guineu, els Beagles anaven perdent terreny en favor dels Foxhounds. Afortunadament per a l'existència del Beagle, els grangers a Anglaterra, Irlanda i Gal·les van seguir mantenint gossades amb les quals sortien a caçar.
A principis de la dècada del 1870, els Beagle donen el salt als Estats Units. Norman Elmore de Nova Jersei i el general Richard Rowet, de Illinois van importar Beagles anglesos d'excel·lent tipus i pedigrí i van donar inici a la idea de dur registres dels aparellamments i ventrades per a un major control de la raça. Fins a aquest moment, el Beagle anglès havia estat ensinistrat principalment per a perseguir guineus, i havia estat criat per a arribar a una altura de 37-42 centímetres dedse la creu.
El reverend Phillip Honeywood criava la seva gossada d'Essex (Anglaterra) potenciant les seves habilitats caçadores sense importar-li l'aparença, mentre que el seu compatriota Thomas Johnson s'encarregà de criar línies de Beagle que poguessin tant caçar com ser atractius. A Amèrica, no obstant això, el Beagle va ser criat amb la finalitat de reduir la seva altura. Actualment, no és difícil trobar Beagles d'una altura de només 25 o 30 centímetres desde la creu. Durant tot aquest temps, el Beagle era vist estrictament com a un gos de caça, sent criat i ensinistrat exclusivament a tal efecte. No ha estat fins a més tard quan el Beagle va començar a popularitzar-se per les seves qualitats com animal de companyia, tot i que sempre ha estat i estarà molt unit als caçadors.
El nom que rep la raça té dues possibles orígens. D'una banda es considera una derivació de la paraula cèltica beag que significa petit, mentre que per un altre se sosté que prové de la paraula francesa begueule que significa boca oberta, potser en referència al fragorós clam que produïxen en el grup.
No són gossos especialment cridaners, solen bordar durant les caceres per a avisar als caçadors que es troben sobre la presa. A més dels sons comuns a tots els gossos. Es caracteritzen per un udol típic de la raça, una 'cant' barreja de bordar i udolar. Generalment, emeten aquest so quan detecten una olor que crida la seva atenció. L'udol d'un beagle és més aviat fort a causa de la seva gran capacitat pulmonar però no arriba a un to molt greu.
English
The Beagle is a medium-sized dog breed. A member of the hound group, it is similar in appearance to the Foxhound but smaller with shorter legs, and longer, softer ears. Beagles are scent hounds developed primarily for tracking hare, rabbit, and other game. They have a keen tracking instinct and an excellent sense of smell, which has seen them employed as detection dogs for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. They are popular as pets because of their size, even temper, and lack of inherited health problems. These characteristics also make them the dog of choice for animal testing.
Although beagle-type dogs have existed for over 2,000 years, the modern breed was developed in Britain around the 1830s from several breeds, including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound and possibly the Harrier.
Beagles have been depicted in popular culture since Elizabethan times in literature and paintings, and, latterly in film, television and comic books. Snoopy of the comic strip "Peanuts" has been called the world's most famous Beagle.
Dogs of similar size and purpose to the modern Beagle can be traced back to around the 5th century BC. Xenophon, born around 433 BC, in his Treatise on Hunting refers to a dog that hunted hares by scent and was followed on foot.[1] Dogs of this type were taken to Rome and may have been imported to Roman Britain. Small hounds are mentioned in the Forest Laws of Canute which exempted them from the ordinance which commanded that all dogs capable of running down a stag should have one foot mutilated.[2] If genuine, Canute's laws would confirm that beagle-type dogs were present in England before 1016, but it is likely they were written in the Middle Ages to give a sense of antiquity and tradition to Forest Law.
In the 11th century, William the Conqueror brought the Talbot hound to Great Britain. The Talbot was a predominantly white, slow, deep-throated, scent hound derived from the St Hubert Hound which had been developed in the 8th century. At some point the English Talbots were crossed with Greyhounds to give them an extra turn of speed.[4] Long extinct, the Talbot strain probably gave rise to the Southern Hound which, in turn, is thought to be an ancestor of the modern day Beagle.
From Medieval times, beagle was used as a generic description for the smaller hounds, though these dogs differed considerably from the modern breed. Miniature breeds of beagle-type dogs were known from the times of Edward II and Henry VII, who both had packs of Glove Beagles, so named since they were small enough to fit on a glove, and Queen Elizabeth I kept a breed known as a Pocket Beagle, which stood 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 cm) at the shoulder. Small enough to fit in a "pocket" or saddlebag, they rode along on the hunt. The larger hounds would run the prey to ground, then the hunters would release the small dogs to continue the chase through underbrush. Elizabeth I referred to the dogs as her singing beagles and often entertained guests at her royal table by letting her Pocket Beagles cavort amid their plates and cups.[5] Nineteenth century sources refer to these breeds interchangeably and it is possible that the two names refer to the same small variety. In George Jesse's Researches into the History of the British Dog from 1866, the early 17th century poet and writer Gervase Markham is quoted referring to the Beagle as small enough to sit on a man's hand and to the:
little small mitten-beagle, which may be companion for a ladies kirtle, and in the field will run as cunningly as any hound whatere, only their musick is very small like reeds.[6]
Standards for the Pocket Beagle were drawn up as late as 1901; these genetic lines are now extinct, although modern breeders have attempted to recreate the variety

Quebec City
Quebec ( /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/; French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen)), also Québec, Quebec City or Québec City (French: Ville de Québec) is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. As of 2011, the city has a population of 516,622,[1] and the metropolitan area has a population of 765,706[2], making it the second most populous city in Quebec after Montreal, which is about 233 kilometres (145 mi) to the southwest.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River approximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only remaining fortified city walls that still exist in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.[3][4]
According to the federal and provincial governments, Québec is the city's official name in both French and English, although Quebec City is commonly used, particularly to distinguish the city from the province. The city's most famous landmark is the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline. The National Assembly of Quebec, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Gallery of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.
Quebec
Quebec /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/ (French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen))[7] is a province in east-central Canada.[8][9] It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the US states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.[10]
Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and the official opposition social democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada. Sovereignist governments have held referendums on independence in 1980 and 1995; both were voted down by voters, the latter defeated by a very narrow margin.[11] In 2006, the Canadian House of Commons passed a symbolic motion, the Québécois nation motion, recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."[12][13]
While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become the second most economically influential province, second only to Ontario.[14]
Old Quebec
Historic District of Old Quebec *
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Old Quebec (French: Vieux-Québec) is a historic neighbourhood of Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec in Canada. Comprising the Upper Town (French: Haute-Ville) and Lower Town (French: Basse-Ville), the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Administratively, Old Quebec is part of the Vieux-Québec–Cap-Blanc–colline Parlementaire district in the borough of La Cité–Limoilou.
The area is sometimes referred to as the Latin Quarter (French: Quartier latin), but this title refers more to area around the Séminaire de Québec, the original site of Laval University.
History
Old Quebec is the oldest part of Quebec City, chosen in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as the location for the Chateau Saint-Louis. Old Quebec maintained a strong military and administrative presence from its beginning, a use determined by the strategic heights of Cap Diamant. While the Lower Town was populated with merchants and craftsmen, the Upper Town was inhabited by military officials and members of the clergy.
This strong military presence long limited the city's expansion. At the end of the 19th century, many wanted to demolish the fortifications, judging them to be unnecessary and a hindrance to urban development. However, Governor Dufferin successfully managed to preserve the character of the walled city, while adapting the further expansion of the modern city.
Despite having undergone some degradation in the 1950s, the Old City has been subject to somewhat of a renaissance period since the 1970s.
The rich historic nature of Old Quebec is marked by the city's ramparts, fortifications, and many historic houses and buildings. The legacy of previous generations and the beauty of the district make it particularly unique.
The majority of buildings in the neighborhood date from 19th century, although the construction of some date back to 17th and 18th centuries. It also is home to several commercial streets, including Rue Saint-Jean, Rue Sainte-Anne and Rue De Buade. Many institutions are still housed in the heart of the city, such as the Quebec City Council, the Séminaire de Québec, the Ursulines Convent, and the Augustinian monastery. As a popular tourist destination, Old Quebec is also home to several hotels, including the famous Château Frontenac. Guided ghosts tours are also of interest to its residents and visitors.
Ramparts of Quebec City
World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1985
National Historic Site of Canada in 1948
Located in Canada, the Ramparts of Quebec City are the only remaining fortified city walls in the Americas, north of Mexico.[1] The English began fortifying the existing walls,[2] after they took Quebec City from the French in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759.
The wall surrounds most of Old Quebec, which was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1985.[3] The fortifications were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1948.

Và đôi tay trắng chỉ biết chấp chặt nguyện cầu em được bình yên :) Và mog người sau sẽ luôn kề bên cho em vòng tay .
Và mong từng lối em về giờ đây sẽ thôi lặng thầm hiu quạnh . Sẽ dành cho người tất cả con tim như em đã từng yêu anh .
. Để đôi môi còn mãi làm thơ.
. Để đôi chân còn trụ rán chờ .
. Lỡ một mai người về như mơ nhưng chắc là không, đã có người khác cho em nụ cười trước giấc ngủ còn anh ngẩng ngơ,vui vơ,nghẹn ngào,vẫy tay chào về thiên thu :)
. Không có người sau vì anh kiệt sức kẹt mãi nơi này chân chùn bước . Tiếc mãi vòng tay,hơi ấm tình say em đã êm đềm có biết được ? :)
_______________
Anh biết đi về nơi đâu khi không cánh tay em dìu dắt thì che đậy cỏi lòng ở sau mi sau khi biết được sự thật vì sao và đó là anh lúc trước sau đêm anh vừa mất em . Khuôn mặt gầy hộc cứ bước vào chiều tối đèn nhá nhem :)
Chẳng có lý nào để anh thốt ra thêm một lời níu kéo. Đứng nhìn em khuất dần xa nhưng anh không thể bước theo.
Có lẽ từ đây về sau không còn chung đường chung lối.
Có lẽ từ đây anh phải một mình bước đi trong từng đêm tối.
Không yêu ai lần nữa giữ vẹn cuộc tình đôi ta. Để rồi con tim hóa đá theo từng tháng ngày trôi qua .
Sau tất cả nhận đc dối trá niềm đau đôi chân mệt nhoài trở lại nơi góc phố cũ tìm nhau . Biết trách ai giờ đây lòng này muốn trách móc em nhưng sao không được nưã lời :)
Liệu có phải anh đang cố chấp khiến em càng xa anh hơn.
Liệu có phải đã khiến em chán ghét những lời ca anh hơn .
Liệu có phải những gì còn lại cũng dần phôi pha nhanh hơn .
Liệu có phải anh càng niếu giữ thời gian càng qua nhanh hơn .
- Và chỉ đơn giản một câu hỏi sao em chưa về bên? Đôi khi gục ngã trong vô vọng lại muốn buông lời trách móc. Trách người sao đã đến rồi lại đi - dạy tôi biết buồn biết khóc. Tại sao từ đầu lại trao cho tôi quá nhiều giả dối ngọt ngào để tôi quen nhờn và cố chấp yêu người dù biết mình sẽ rất đau .
Em để lại đây trong tôi là đôi chữ yêu và hận.
Em ra đi và cho tôi biết đôi khi tình yêu là phận.
Tôi để lại gì trong tim em một chiều mưa buồn hoang vắng . Có lẽ tất cả cũng đã biến tan vì bầu trời kia đang nắng.
Nếu tôi một phép màu tôi sẽ không ước được có em . Sẽ không ước có một cơ hội thay đỗi quá khứ đầy lắm lem :)
_____
- Sẽ mãi alone thôi ^^ Hehe .

General note: The Bailey-Ervin plan was an anti-integration proposal put together by State Superintendent Tom Bailey and Attorney General Richard Ervin. The plan was intended to encompass the two ideologies of segregation and free public schools. In this broadcast by WTBT-TV, John Evans interviews the two men. Ervin and Bailey express the belief that white parents should be given an option that allows them to send their children to private schools, using state subsidies, rather than sending them to integrated public schools.

Catching up
On March 21, 2020 this note was received. “Hi John: Just wanted to let you know that the KOM League has lost another. My dad Russell White passed away on March 19, 2020 at the good ole age of 93. He has gone to be with his Irish Love.
Wish you the best and we'll continue to read your reports as long as you send them Shawna White-Clough
Ed comment:
A message of condolence was sent to Shawna and the reporting of her father’s death was delayed until there was an obituary to share. The obituary came out on April 9 and on that same day this note was received from baseball necrologist, Jack Morris. “Here’s an obituary for a guy which says he was on the Iola Cubs. I’m assuming he didn’t get into a game since I can’t find him in Baseball Reference or in the TSN contract cards.

Obituary
Russell White Russell White (93) went to be with the Lord on March 19, 2020 of natural causes, joining his loving wife Lauretta.
He was born April 27, 1926 to Harry and Juanita White. He was born in Oakville, WA and eventually ended up in Gig Harbor. In 1946 he was signed by the Chicago Cubs and sent to their farm club in Visalia, CA.
He also spent time with the Iola Cubs which was part of the KOM league. Unfortunately, family wanted him back home so unhappily he returned. Upon returning home he got in touch with the love of his life Lauretta (Murphy) and they were married in August of 1948, before her passing in 2017 they had been married for 69 years.
He worked several jobs before being hired by the Peninsula Light Company where he retired from after 38 years. He enjoyed traveling and camping with Lauretta and would end up on some back road to their next destination. They traveled most of the United States, Ireland, Wales, Mexico to name a few. He was a very devoted member of St. John's Episcopal Church.
He is survived by his sister Kay (Vern) Kolves and his four children, Wendy (Alan) Lentz, Dennis White, Denise (Jim) Matthews and Shawna (Tom) Clough. He had 5 grandchildren, Chris, Marci (Ty), Jason, Chad and Tim and 1 great granddaughter Danika, along with several nieces and nephews that he adored. He was preceded in death by his wife Lauretta and brother Jess. A celebration of life will be held at a later time, after the pandemic is under control.
Published in News Tribune (Tacoma) on Apr. 9, 2020
A rather long e-mail was sent in reply to Jack Morris in which it was documented Russell White appeared in three games for the 1946 Iola, Kansas Cubs. Contact was first made with his daughter and later him in 2016. A number of communications went back and forth over the intervening four years. The account of locating the White family can be found in this Flash Report: oldtimerbaseball.com/hall_09.php?year=09&id=02 There are many references to contacts with the White family in the intervening four years and can be shared if anyone needs a reference as to the Flash Report in which they appeared. This site features a photo of Russell and his wife. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/28643236921/
In the first story written about Russell White he provided many interesting stories not the least of which happened when he was a young man. Of all the people with whom I have ever conversed with regarding baseball, or any other subject, I have never heard of anyone living in a “community” like White described. Go back and read the article and then report to me if you found the “naked truth.”
Being aware that a few baseball researchers peruse this publication it was decided to summarize Russell White’s time at Iola. This note was shared with Jack Morris. “This is Russell Austin White's career in a nutshell. Pitched against Carthage May 23-- 4 hits four runs--no decision. May 17 beat Miami 5-2. Also pitched at Bartlesville prior to May 17-no decision.”
Ed comment:
Receiving an obituary for April 9 has a real impact on Yours truly. It on that date, in 1947, that my father passed away due to ruptured appendix and the lack of penicillin to treat it. For 73 years it has always been my belief that the Hall family, led by my mother and her four children suffered worse on that day than anyone else on the planet.
On the morning of April 10 of this year I decided to look back on the events of April 9, 1947 and found that towns in Northwest Oklahoma, Southwest Kansas and the Texas Panhandle suffered devastation that numerical dwarfed what the Hall’s experienced that same day in Carthage, Missouri. Towns like Woodward, Oklahoma suffered immensely but eventually returned to “normal.” In the same manner the Hall family picked up the pieces and went on about trying to make it. Some 73 years after losing my father I have a reminder of him every day for his tombstone resides just a few feet away from where this report is being written. Don’t call me a weirdo until you ask how that came to be.
So my social commentary relates to the current status of the health of the world. This is not the worst thing that has ever happened, by a long shot and like tornados and deaths from 1947, this too shall pass. .

Death of Ewing Turner—Ponca Dodger
obits.ocregister.com/obituaries/orangecounty/obituary.asp...
Ewing passed away peacefully at his home in Scottsdale, AZ on April 1, 2020; he was 90 years old. Ewing Turner was born on June 28, 1929 in West Plains, MO (Ed note: His parents were living in Dry Branch in Howell County) and was raised in Long Beach, CA. Though Ewing was an only child; he had several first aunts and uncles, along with cousins. Ewing was born into a depression era family to his father, Everett and mother, Lillian.
The Turners were of very modest means and young Ewing was restless at a very early age. He was an excellent student, athlete, and woodworking craftsman. Ewing attended Long Beach Poly where he was an outstanding football, basketball, and track sprinter. His true love was playing baseball. Ewing was an All-CIF catcher at Long Beach Poly and had full ride scholarships to both USC and the University of Arizona.
Ewing, bypassed college and was signed by Hall of Famer, Branch Rickey, of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In the summer of 1949 at the age of 20, he met the love of his life, Geraldine Michelick. A whirlwind romance ensued, one year later they were married and the Turners were on a fast track to the big leagues. However, when they arrived home from their honeymoon on September 30, 1950, Ewing was drafted into the U.S. Army to serve on the front lines in the Korean War. Faith, hope and prayers brought Sergeant Turner back in 1952 and he resumed his career with the Dodgers. Ewing and Gerrie traveled the country in pursuit of their dreams from Vero Beach, FL to Ponca City, OK, Pueblo, CO, Mobile, AL and many other stops in between.
In 1955, Ewing and Gerrie, with a toddler and another baby on the way, decided to retire from baseball to move back to Long Beach, California. With his baseball bonus money, Ewing bought Curley's Cafe‚ in Signal Hill, still operating to this day as it has since 1932. The Turner's settled into a small home in Signal Hill. With one more move to Long Beach, they eventually purchased their dream home in 1960 on Rowena Drive in Rossmoor, CA. With 4 children to raise, Ewing became the ultimate super dad and helped construct the St. Hedwig's Little League fields in Rossmoor and became a mentor and coach to many young dads that had never played or coached.
Ewing and Gerrie also expanded their business ventures into other businesses: Turfside Liquor in Cypress, Automotive Salvage Yards Admore and Allco Auto Wrecking and Signal Savings & Loan. Ewing also became a Steering Committee Member of the Long Beach Second Guessers Professional Baseball Players Association of America and served as President (and Lifetime Honorary Member) of the Signal Hill Police Officers Association a philanthropic organization from 1978-80.
Ewing's work ethic on the baseball diamond, in the community, or running his businesses, was unrivaled out the door at 4:30 AM and home by 7:00 PM; he loved running Curley's. He always said he had the "best customers in the world" and he treated them like family. Great food, world famous chili and a stiff drink was their brand, no menu ever, daily blue plate specials prepared by his Aunt Ruth. His check cashing business and service to the oil field roustabouts was legendary. The locals knew it took some gumption to run Curley's, an occasional argument and bare-knuckled brawl might ensue over a lost wager but Ewing was there to restore order.
A friend to all, enemy to none, Ewing also served as the official lender to those in need. For 35 years, on a handshake, Ewing was there for his customers covering payroll or issuing credit when times were tough in the oilfields. As a salute to his customers, for 35 years, Ewing organized an annual Dove Hunting trip for the Signal Hill Curley's crew to Gila Bend, Arizona.
Ewing was known as the unofficial mayor of Gila Bend over the Labor Day Weekend. He would rent out the entire Space Age and Payless Motels and was legendary for his sharpshooting skills and hollering "my bird" before his epic opening night dove feed. Ewing and Gerrie became avid golfers in the early 1970's and convinced several other neighborhood couples to join Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. Known as the "Hic and Hackers," Gerrie and Ewing organized many golf trips over the years and traveled with their friends to Hawaii, Palm Springs, Ojai, San Diego and Las Vegas for memorable golf outings. From 1975 to 1984, Ewing was the weekend chef to many of the Turner kids' friends. "You are always welcome to stay for dinner," our Dad would say and eat they would! He fed half of the Los Al Griffin football team over a ten-year span from 1969 to 1979. Filet Mignon and Lobster was always on the menu and grilled to order. Mom & Dad were always up for a celebration and party-planning was their specialty.
Birthdays, graduations, costume parties, Rose Bowl, Super Bowl and the Turner's famous Curley's chili "joke" parties were among the most popular parties, but their favorite party was a Cocktail Party! Family vacations were a big priority for Ewing and Gerrie. From Donner Lake, Mammoth, Hawaii, Bass Lake, trips to Colorado, Mexico, Canada, Lake Arrowhead and finally a "cabin" the 'Hillbilly Hilton' in Canyon Lake, CA. After the kids went off to college, Gerrie and Ewing traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe with many of their closest friends for many years. Ewing and Gerrie sold their Rossmoor home in 1995 and moved to Canyon Lake to set up shop for the next nine years on their 13th tee box home at Canyon Lake Country Club. In 2004, Gerrie and Ewing were on the move again to Phoenix, AZ to settle into their sunset years. Mom & Dad loved their Arizona sunsets in the Sonoran Desert.
Ewing is now at home, resting in peace with the Lord with his beloved wife, and the many dogs they raised, including their especially cute "Cupcake" who passed on the same day as Ewing. As parents, they always said "Dogs go to heaven, too." Ewing is survived by: his daughters, Dr. Pamelee Turner Santesteban of Scottsdale, AZ, Jana Lynn Turner of Newport Beach; his sons, Kerry Ewing Turner and daughter-in-law Alicia of Rossmoor, Kevin Michael Turner and daughter-in-law Perrin of Coto De Caza; grandchildren Austin Fairbourn, Ashley Turner, Patrick, Riley, and Lily Turner; grandson-in-law Charlie, and great-granddaughters, Turner Marie and Jennings James Fairbourn. He is also survived by his third adoptive son, Robert Harrison Bowles, of Denver, CO and wife Lynn and their four children.
In lieu of flowers, Ewing is being honored with donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org/donate). Ewing's life was celebrated with military honors, an intimate family Catholic funeral mass in Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday, April 4, 2020 with interment at Holy Redeemer Cemetery in Phoenix, AZ.---Published in Orange County Register on Apr. 10, 2020
Ed comment:
When news arrives of the death of any former KOM leaguer an attempt is made to inform his teammates from the year(s) he played. In the case of Ewing Turner contact was made with Dick McCoy in Omaha, Nebr. Here is the reply from Molly McCoy. “Just opened our iPad and saw your news so glad Dick had gotten to visit with him. That was a very nice obit of his interesting life. We are getting along well in our new life style but miss seeing our family. We do take a ride a couple times a week maybe DQ and then back home. Hope you and your family are doing well.” Love Molly and Dick

Note from faithful reader-- Bill Clark
This is a note from former major league scout, Bill Clark.
I just read the latest Flash Report and continue to be intrigued by your ability to dig out guys that have been forgotten – or never really known – for 70 years. I’ve been doing a bit of it on Ancestry, but in regard to historical data on folks who have been dead in our county for 150 years. I’m beginning to find my way around. Old dogs do learn new tricks./ And I’m damned sure old. I’ll be 88 soon. That means I can be played like a piano.
I’m still grinding out five columns a week and, even though I’m staying at home in an effort to reach Age 88 and beyond with all my systems working, I have no problem conjuring up something of interest – at least to me. I’m about the only one who reads them.
Tomorrow’s bird column about an eight-day escape from home to bird a dozen different spots in mid-Missouri occupied only by the birds and the sole birder – ma way to relieve the boredom of four walls and a computer.
Keep on sending KOM League news, even if only you and I are reading these days.
OL Clark
Ed comment:
With the foregoing in mind these are some tidbits of information, recently uncovered, that will be of little interest to most readers but might be what it takes to get Ol Clark through this time of Covid whatever number it is.
It dawned on Yours truly, in recent days, that this forum might be putting out as much news as outlets such as ESPN and the sports departments of FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS et. al. At least what you find in this report is true, mostly.
_________________________________________________________________________
Leading the age parade
The lone reader of these reports in Canada, Barry McMahon, mentioned that with the passing of Shannon Deniston who was the oldest living former KOM leaguer. That honor now rests with Robert Field of Hutchinson, Kansas who played for the 1946 Miami, Oklahoma Blues. The following are those born in 1922-23-25 and 1925.
Robert E. Field-- 8/27/1922 (Miami 1946)
Willis Frank Carruth-- 9/30/1922 (Bartlesville 1948)
Ruel WilliamWaggener--10/23/1923 (Pittsburg and Bartlesville 1946 then Bartlesville 1947)
Jasper Bono-- 3/15/1924 (Chanute 1946)
Nicholas Kucher --11/1/1924 (Ponca City 1947)
John Lawrence Bulkley --1/5/1925 (Chanute 1946-47)
William Edward McProuty --2/27/1925 (Independence 1947)
Robert J. Kapinus-- 4/10/1925 (Iola 1946)
Peter S. Maropis--9/27/1925 (Bartlesville 1948)
To my knowledge neither Jasper Bono and Nicholas Kucher have middle names. If they had one now it might well be “Longevity.”
One the opposite end of the spectrum the youngest living former KOM leaguers were born in 1933. There are 28 men who have or will reach the 87 mile marker this year. Those born from August to December are the youngest of the group. They are:
Robert L. Zuccarini-- 12/15/1933 (1951 Pittsburg Browns)
Bobby Uriah Elkins-- 12/9/1933 (1950 Ponca City Dodgers)
Arvil Lee Coonradt—12/6/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
James Joseph Cesanek—11/30/1933 (1952 Iola Indians)
Theodore James Downey—11/6/1953 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Thomas J. Guderian—10/14/1933 (1952 Blackwell Broncos)
Joseph Daniel Parisi—9/25/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Vernon Leroy Summers—9/10/1933 (1952 Bartlesville/Pittsburg Pirates)
William Ellsworth Eastburn—9/4/1933 (1951 Carthage Cubs)
Les G. Machen Jr.—8/9/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Joseph C. “Corky” Buckstead—8/5/1933 (1951 Bartlesville Pirates 1952 Bartlesville/Pittsburg)

A reader enjoyed a recent tale
John: That story of the young man telling Miss XXXX, the roving teacher, that if she passed away he would be the ugliest person in the world was hysterical! I don't suppose you know if Miss XXXX continued to teach, or if after receiving that candid remark from one of her students, she tendered her resignation and joined a carnival as the world's ugliest woman?
Regardless John, keep up the good work. During these very trying times, your reports offer a great diversion from all the negativity in our lives. Sincerely, Leo Downey
Ed reply:
The Miss XXXX was about the meanest teacher I ever encountered. She had been the principal at one of the grade schools and she was finally relegated to roving status in her last year or two of employment
Once, in our geography class, she came upon a boy who had his book opened to the map of the world. He had a pencil with string tied to it. The string was touching the Pacific Ocean. Miss XXXX was looking over his shoulder and inquired as to what he was doing. He turned to her with a shhh! and said, “Be quiet before you scare the fish away.”
Miss XXXX had long boney fingers and enjoyed placing them under students collar bones and pulling upward. At my 50th high school reunion the brother of the boy who was caught fishing in class told me a tale I don’t recall. He said that I once warned Miss XXXX if she grabbed my collarbone that she would have my mother to deal with and she wouldn’t like the result. I can’t believe I said it but if I did I’m proud of myself.
Comment:
This is basically for the readers who attended Carthage schools at the same time as Yours truly. Miss XXXX parents came to the United States, from Ireland. Miss XXXX’s father was a tailor who passed away in 1925. By that time his daughter had reached the age of 41 and thus when my age group arrived on the scene Miss XXXX was already of retirement age and not much in the frame of mind to tolerate much from students of my generation.

Robert Glynn Carter www.findagrave.com/memorial/8127137/robert-glynn-carter
Until recent days I was never able to track the fate or whereabouts of Robert Glynn Carter. He caught, briefly, for the 1952 Ponca City Dodgers but made a living scouting for them for many years. He was born July 1, 1932 in Downsville, Louisiana. He was assigned to Ponca City from the Valdosta, Georgia club on July 15, 1952.
After his playing days, which ended in 1956, he scouted for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1958—1965 and then spent two years, 1967-68 doing the same job for the Philadelphia Phillies
Carter passed away July 17, 2003 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
This is a link to Robert Glynn Carter’s Sporting News card: digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/15035/...
In reviewing these cards just remember that there are omissions and other mistakes on them at times. The Item Description section is how the person summarizing the card deciphered it. Some names on the item description are far from the real thing. For example I tried finding Travis Kunce of the Miami Owls. I won’t go into the details. However, I pointed out how that got interpreted from the original card. It was documented and sent to Jack Morris of baseball necrology fame and he sent it along to the research group to make the change.
Ed note:
Carter’s photo is the one accompanying this report on the Flickr site: It was taken while he was in high school at Ouachita High School in Monroe, Louisiana.

Larry Glenn Smith
This gentleman was another member of the 1952 Ponca City Dodgers who they released on May 10. That is shown on his Sporting News card. It appears he went to Abbeyville, Louisiana of the Evangeline league for the rest of the season and after that his baseball career was nothing more than insertions on an index card kept in St. Louis by the Spinks and Sons. Peruse this one: digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/132212...
Unfortunately, there was nothing on his Sporting News card to indicate his place of birth and as yet I haven’t deciphered anything on Ancestry.com that would provide definitive information.
____________________________________________________________________________
Wayne Parge may have been Wayne Parks—but probably not
Another fellow who showed up in Ponca City for a brief visit in 1952 was a gentleman only identified in an Associated Press line score. It showed up as Parg, Parq, Parge and Parks without a first name. Over the years a search was made for persons of that age range and the closest one ever found was Wayne Parge, a right handed pitcher from Malaka Township, Iowa.
Nothing definitive was ever found on this person after he left his Iowa farm home. In recent days an attempt was made to find someone fitting that profile and this was located. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/173852... The person on this card would have been the property of the St. Louis Browns. When he was on the inactive list he could have possibly been sent to Ponca City for a “look see.” However, if I attempted to win this case in the court of law, with that amount of evidence, I’d lose my case, big time. In short this guy has me stumped.

It wasn’t Boerger but rather Boeger
A quarter century ago the name of Gerald Paul Boerger was added to the KOM league database on the basis that he was signed by the New York Giants out of St. Louis, Mo. and sent to Chanute, Kansas on July 1, 1948. He lasted until July 3 and his KOM league career was over. However, years of searching produced no trail on the fellow. Then, on a hunch the spelling of his last name was “tinkered” with and a search was made for Gerald Paul Boeger. This was found on the Internet: Gerald Paul Boeger Obituary. “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Gerald Paul Boeger (Fort Myers, Florida), born in Saint Louis, Missouri, who passed away on January 31, 2018, at the age of 89, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Gerald Paul Boeger or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service. The link to the obituary is: www.everhere.com/us/obituaries/fl/fort-myers/gerald-paul-...
Mr. Boeger was born January 13, 1929 in St. Louis. His Sporting News card, after his short stint in Chanute was filled with: being released, put on disabled list, reinstated, released, placed on suspended list, reinstated and released. Here is the document verifying what was just shared. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/13196/...

Flash Report loses another reader
It is with a heavy heart that I must pass along the news about Doc Martin. He is home with Jesus as of March 19th. He died four days after his 99 birthday. Clara Dee Martin-Omaha, Nebraska.
Ed comment:
Not many people, aside from steel guitar aficionados would know that name. However, he was a legend back in the days of Red Foley’s nationally syndicated “Ozark Jubilee” aired in the 1950’s from Springfield, Mo. Yours truly was aware of Doc for one of my grade and high school classmates lived a block from me and was his brother-in-law.
A number of years ago contact was made with Doc and one thing led to another and he became the recipient of these reports. I think some of you might have an interest in knowing more about him. His given name was Ulyan Alan Martin. There was no obituary filed for him, according to his widow, and in its place a trio of links are being shared. The first link is a television interview he did in 2016 in Springfield, Mo. The second one is him playing on a live performance of the Ozark Jubilee in the late 1950’s and the third contains a clip of three famous men going inside the Jewell Theater in Springfield in 1958. One of the men is the greatest baseball whoever played in that town (or any other for that matter), the other is the most successful cowboy star of all-time and the third is that of Pat Boone’s father-in-law. You will have to watch closely or you’ll miss it. But, I suspect all of you have time on your hands these days. If any of you suffer from anxiety or hyper activity I’ll give you a hint. The clip of the three famous men is around the seven minute mark of the third clip.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q4JRvO_UUI
When my friend from grade and high school attended the Ozark Jubilee with his brother-in-law, Doc Martin, Red Foley’s youngest daughter took a liking to him. We’ll call that friend Darrell, for that was his name. Darrell always claimed he was never too fond of Red’s daughter but Red had an older one who caught the eye of Pat Boone and they married and he and his wife had daughter (Debbie) who enjoyed a fine singing career. I think Debbie made some money singing “You Light Up My Life.” www.google.com/search?q=Debbie+Boone+You+LIght+up+my+life...
In my humble opinion this was Red Foley’s best song. I’m sure the group backing him on this was Elmo Fagg and the Blue Ridge Quartet. www.google.com/search?q=red+foley+peace+in+the+valley&...
While we are on the topic of hit tunes of the Foley/Boone family I suppose then one Pat Boone got from Richard Penniman (Little Richard) was the most rambunctious of them all: www.google.com/search?q=pat+boone+tutti+frutti&oq=Pat...
It is recommended you listen to all those songs and thus take your mind off either the shortcoming of this writing effort or the miserable news of the current health issue around the planet. In case you wish to compare Little Richard to Pat Boone on the Tutti Frutti tune I’m sure you know how to Google it.
______________________________________________________________________________
The report continues.
This is name dropping time. Many years later Yours truly encountered Pat Boone in a book shop at a major airport. In those instances you don’t want to say something stupid like “Oh, you’re Pat Boone, aren’t’ you?” We exchanged pleasantries and I inquired about the young daughter of Red Foley who dated Darrell. Boone was surprised that such a question was asked and then filled me in on Jenny’s whereabouts and family.

Another reader was lost in recent days and it hit close to home
It is my belief that the recent articles on Shannon Deniston caught the eye of many readers. One of my late readers knew me about as well and as long as anyone on this distribution list. The news of his passing was shared by his widow. He was my last living first cousin. There is a whole lot I could say about Jimmy Ray Harrison but will let the following link do it for me. Without doubt he had the most eventful life of anyone in the Hall/Harrison clan from which I sprung. I taught him everything I knew about martial arts which was nothing. I now introduce you to “Cousin Jim.”

Winding down
I shall close even though there is much more to share. On the drawing table are some stories about former KOM leaguers on whom some extensive research has been compiled in recent days.
When, and if, I ever get around to it there will be minor to voluminous information on heretofore obscure former KOM leaguers: William D. White, Raymond Harvey Buckner, Charles Hertzer, Thomas E. Johnson, William Horace Sibson Jr., Carroll Hoffman, William Huffman, Jack Clayton Jean, Robert Westgate, George Francis Paul, Don Mathews and possibly a host of others.
