[Publib] Friend in Need

[Logan Abbitt]

I'm afraid all of my thoughts and best wishes have already been commandeered by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. 
 
Sorry,

Subject: [Publib] Friend in Need


I would like to ask that our membership send its prayers and best wishes to a librarian who is in need of support right now.  I speak of a woman who has suffered for two decades from a disease which would have killed a lesser person:  her beloved baseball team has not won a World Series since women wore padded shoulders and Dynasty was on the tube.  
 
Sue Kamm is not merely a fan of the Dodgers.  She is a part of the club.  Put it this way:  I am a fan; I listen to games, read the occasional box score, watch the standings to see who's in first place.  Sue can tell you who the Dodgers traded away to get Jack Fimple in 1982.  
 
And now, as I write this, the Dodgers find themselves in first place, with only a handful of games left to win--or to blow, for the division title.  Every day is a new adventure in anxiety for the true believer; who will pitch?  Will the reliever blow the game?  How is Arizona doing?  Sue is walking on hot coals.  She has probably exhausted all her credits with the Almighty, and has made promises that she will have to fulfill in her next life.  
 
Me, I am not so worried about the Dodgers.  I worry about Sue worrying about the Dodgers.  And that's a lot of worry.  So if you get a moment, send this poor woman a nice note of encouragement.  And keep watch on the standings.  It's going to be an exciting finish in the west.
