I was re-living part of my childhood and I came across the passing of Mr. Snell, many years ago. Mr. Snell was one of the best baseball coaches I ever had. He chose to name me to the little league all-star team when I was just a young 10 year old lad. The rest of the team was comprised of 11 and 12 year old boys. That was a huge confidence builder for me and stayed with me for my entire life. Thank you Mr. Snell. - Posted by: Marcel Swerid (Friend) on: May 25, 2023
