Everyone,
​
You are all invited to a "Meet the Artist" reception for my girlfriend, Dr. Lorraine Robertson. She has an exhibit of her work opening this weekend at the John F. Germany Main Library in downtown Tampa. You can view online a display of 345 of her paintings across a wide range of genres and media. You can also meet her in person this Saturday afternoon. Depending on your perspective, she is either a truly remarkable Renaissance woman or a "kick ass broad." In addition to her talent as an artist, she is also a retired physician, a six-time national finalist in ballroom dancing, and a former Ms. Florida in the Senior Ms. America Pageant. BTW, she is an impressive 89 years young.
The library is located at 900 N. Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa. The reception is from 2:00-4:00 PM, Saturday, May 4. I hope you can stop by and meet her.

Dave Starrett, who absolutely loved playing in our league and misses us in the worst way, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a week ago and it has spread.
His family requests we send him cards and/or text him. They would like us to mention to him his stories and any softball reminiscing about him versus doing so a thing at a funeral.
His text number is:
