I first met Rene on the commons. I lived on West St., she lived in the family home on Davison St. I run into her years later, she was playing in the women's league for Dartmouth Jewellers. I was the umpire when Rene came to bat, her count was 3 balls 1 strike, the next pitch was very close, I called it a strike. She was not happy, she looked at me and said, this is not a threat, but; if I don't swing at the next pitch it had better be a ball. Thank God the pitch was over three ft. high. Rene was one hell of a good ball player and you could not find a better person. She was well liked and respected by all. I have ALS and I am house bounald, otherwise I would be there to say good bye to an extra special person and a very good friend
