As more unfolds. I will reveal it to
you when appropriate.
Yours truly.

Mr. McMahon:
I want to thank you for the early and
positive exclusive coverage your
paper has given the proposed World
Medical Center. I hope others will
demonstrate a positive attitude in
this respect. I believe in Tangipahoa
Parish (and all the Florida Parishes)
and the people living here. When all
act together, there is no limit to the
good that can be accomplished.
Because of the great early and
positive public awareness and sup-
port of this project your paper has
helped create, I am forwarding to
you a copy of correspondence I
recently received from Dr. Mohanty.
I believe you will agree that, to quote
your article, "Quiet progress is being
made., "
1 am happy to play a small role in
helping TangJpahoa Parish in secur
ing the location of the World Medical
Center that will provide both re-
search facilities and Medical Doctor
Degrees. l'm glad your paper has
demonstrated the same attitude. Iris Wagner of Live Oak Ceramics

Hardhide piece being fired and

Strawberry Festival.

Dufreche-led
baseballers ready for full
SLU's young baseball team swings
into action next weekend with a trio
of road games.
Under the first year coach Danny
Dufrehe, the Lions tackle a rugged
schedule with just 10 returning
lettermen.
"We're going to be a little better
than we thought at first, but we're
still very inexperienced on the
mound," Dufreche pointed out.
"However, we hope to utilize our
speed and defense to offset some of
the lack of experience."
"The fact that we don't have any
seniors on our roster emphasizes our
youth," the new Lion coach pointed
out. /
Key returnees for the Lions include
outfielder Kurt Griffon and
catcher/outfielder Andy Allain.
Griffon, a sophomore, led the team
last year with a .313 average. Allain
hit .307 and in just two years has
established a school record for
career home runs with 24.
Four other starters return including
sophomore outfielder Darren
Raspino, who led the team in stolen
bases a year ago; third baseman Max
Lewis, second baseman Brent Dugas
and catcher Mike Hymel, a top
gloveman with a strong arm. Bruce
Thompson, a back-up behind the
plate a year ago and also a
designated hitter, has been shifted to
first this spring. Reserve players
Shane McCrory and Scott Perrilloux
are also back.
The inexperience shows on th-e
mound where only one veteran--"
sophomore lefthander Darryl
Powell--is back.
