Dear Al and Marilyn,

I'm sorry that it has taken this long to write.  Since our return to Raleigh, our granddaughter has had a variety of illnesses and we were both hit with the flu.

For one of the few times in my life, I could not find the words to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for honoring me as the 2007 camp recipient of the "Spirit of Softball" award.  Sharon has prominently displayed the trophy on the mantel of our fireplace in our second home in Raleigh, North Carolina.  It represents the true meaning of Senior Softball -- friendly competition, team work, and lasting friendships.

For the past five years, Sharon and I have enjoyed our experience at your camp.  The fact that people come back year after year is a tribute to you.  Your hard work and advanced planning have created something special for those of us who live and love the sport of softball.  Al and Marilyn, I will always be deeply indebted to you for providing such a wonderful opportunity.  Each year I feel mentally like thirty-five again; perhaps, not physically!!

Plan to see you again next year and all the wonderful camp friends we have made through the years.

Sincerely,

Harvey Yonowitz
