Anni and I were close friends when we worked at 391York Ave One story I remember was when we joined Earls Gym. It was a girls weight gym We both played on a government baseball league Deric had asked us to buy a bat for the girls Well, we had just worked out Went to a sports shop and picked out what we thought was the perfect bat We brought it to the game and everyone laughed We bought the fattest wooden bat you could buy I guess we thought we were strong enough to throw it around One of our great times together.. So very sorry for your loss.. Lynne Williams co-worker!!! - Posted by: Lynne Williams (Friend) on: Nov 21, 2025
