I read the article “The Titans of Teener” by Richard Walker with interest and pleasure. You did an excellent job capturing the essence of baseball in the 60s era and particularly Teener baseball. Please accept my compliments on how you pulled so much information together in a concise manner making it both informative and enjoyable. I’ve heard several nice comments about it.
I wanted to thank you for giving so much of your time and energy to these bygone events. The recognition was especially nice considering the decades that have past. Many of the players thought the achievements long forgotten. I would be remiss if l didn’t say that none of it could have been accomplished without the great support of the Gastonia VFW as well as The Gazette and others. Gazette writers like Ken Alexander, Dwight Frady and Richard Walker have been very supportive of local athletics and Gastonia as a whole. I’ve not seen better local coverage than we’ve had in any city I’ve ever visited. You keep young dreams alive by generating interest. Young athletes will always remember your articles.
