We spent the day today at our Alma Mater, Oklahoma Christian, to be a part of the dedication of Dobson Field. Max Dobson was head baseball coach for many years at OC, including the years that Neal played baseball. You never know how many will attend this kind of event and Neal took several weeks to decide if he could pull himself away from work. But in the end, he decided to go, and we had an absolutely fabulous day. The new field is not completed, but the center stands were done and were filled to capacity. As you can see by the picture, there were plenty of old-timers there to play a scrimmage in the morning, and they managed to get through it without any pulled muscles, torn ligaments or stawberries. They fed us lunch, then we returned to the field for the dedication ceremonies. Afterwards, the 2008-2009 team played an inter-squad scrimmage. It was great to see so many old friends and we made that lame promise again that we wouldn't wait so long to get together again.
