We are getting close to baseball season which means teams go south for Spring Training.

Last year CDH’s team was fortunate to be able to train in Florida. Just so happens that last year in March our classmate Dave Britz and his wife Barb happened to be spending the month near Tampa/St. Petersburg. Dave found out that the baseball team was nearby and playing in a seven team tournament with peer teams from around the country.

This was the first time CDH participated in such pre-season activity. Dave went for the first two games. CDH won the first game. Jake Mauer was one of the coaches and Dave asked him if after the game he could have his picture taken with the team. Jake obliged.

Unfortunately, Dave left town and never got a copy of the photo that was taken. At our last class luncheon Steve Walsh stopped by to share info on CDH with us. In the ensuing dialogue Dave mentioned he was fortunate enough to have seen the CDH baseball team in Florida and had his picture taken but he did not get a copy. Steve made note.

Steve Walsh was able to locate that photo of Dave Britz and sent it to him. Dave is now sharing that iconic image with us!

Of note, this team went on to have a rather successful season…..STATE CHAMPION IN THE LARGE SCHOOL DIVISION!

Dave may have been their good luck charm.
