Hi Mom,
Lisa and I are at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. We are here especially to see the Hank Aaron Gallery honoring the player you encouraged me to root for in the summer of 1959. That turned out to be good advice.

The Bob Jennaro Family remembers Lonnie Postles, a true lady, always graceful and poised. We remember her generosity, her love of a good party, her love of travel, her love for her family. We remember her regal carriage, her beautiful clothing, her impish laugh, her eternal optimism. We all miss her. I miss my mother. I miss her sympathetic ear. I miss her stories about days long ago. I miss my friend.
