Aah, my friend Lenny... Lenny pitched on our Little League team sponsored by The Steer House. (Now RWS Enterprises' "Country Cookin") I grew up with Lenny, all the way back when route 419 pretty much didn't exist south of Brambleton Avenue! Lenny thought my Dad was crazy (I think everyone thinks my dad was nuts) because Dad and I would go pick up Lenny for Biddy League baseball, or a Church Function or whatever, and Dad would take us 'off road' from Lenny's house to my house via a dirt path that is the route Chaparral Drive now follows BEFORE the Penn Forest subdivision had fully been developed. Good Times!!! I am sad that Lenny is no longer with us. So long, good friend.

Here's the picture, as promised... That's Coach Charlie Smith, me, Steve Snodgrass, Lenny with his uniform on backwards, Paul Dessyn, Clay Williams,...,...,...
Front Row is Tony Wood(!), Ronnie Smith,..., Mike Fortner and Scott Slaughter. The 1976 Steer House Steers. We were unstoppable that year with Lenny's great pitching!

I went to school with lenny since 1st grade and he was just one of those people I will never forget. We played baseball together for so many years I cant recount all of them. Lenny was a mean pitcher who threw some incredible junk pitches, he was the fastest large man I ever met and always swore that one day he would outrun me, and sometimes came very close. We had so many memories at Green Valley, Hidden Valley, and Cave Spring as well as summertime. Ill never forget many years after high school I was jobless so I proceeded to the unemployment office. When I arrived a saw a well dressed man in a suit that looked familiar, turned out it was lenny. We talked and laughed and soon they took us to a classroom to take an aptitude test which I assume was standard procedure or we just look as if we needed one lol. We cut up and laughed so much during that test that neither one of us got a job, well maybe Lenny did but I didn't hehehehe........Ill always miss you Lenny and think of you often
