Kathy’s Fund Update—Our Battle Against Alzheimer’s Disease Continues
If you can’t come to a monthly dinner, you can still donate to Kathy’s Fund by
making a check out to SF BASEBALL OLD TIMERS, and indicate on the memo line
“For Kathy’s Fund” and mail it to LOU LANDINI, 208 FOREST PARK DRIVE,
PACIFICA, CALIF 94044. At our monthly dinners, it is so gratifying to watch fellow
Old Timers slip considerable amounts of cash “into the can” secretly hoping that
their donation will be the one that leads to the end of this evil disease. We’re all
hoping that one day soon, an earth-shattering announcement will come from the
Alzheimer’s Association that a cure or effective treatment has been found for this
brutal and cruel scourge.
If anyone in the Old Timers is seeking information about or assistance with a problem
concerning Alzheimer’s disease, your news staff can provide you with contact
information within the Alzheimer’s Association. Rest assured, confidentiality will be
maintained.
In Memoriam
We must sadly report the passings of two cherished members of the Old Timers
Family. We lost Barbara Golding, the elegant and dignified wife of the late Iconic Old
Timer Ernie Golding, and not long after, we sustained the loss of long-time Brother
Old Timer Dave Carelli. May God receive them both into His Eternal Care.

Angel, Ray McDonald, Pete Dalton, Nick Cannuli, Len Grilli, Don & Paula Collopy,
Virginia Simon, Chuck Garcia, Bill McCullough, Jim Mullan, Kris Longa, and John
Ward (who has had a rough go in his recovery from a serious leg injury). Y’all are in
our prayers and under orders to keep getting better!

Bobbie Mitchell, A Doctor of Divinity
In our many years of knowing Bobbie Mitchell, we have found him to be a man of
several pursuits in life. One we recently discovered is that Bobbie wanted to become a
Catholic priest. So he ended up being assigned to Holy Moley Parish, and on his first
Sunday there, he was scheduled for the 9:00 AM Mass. After the service, he met with
the pastor, Monsignor Boomballatti, and jovially asked “Well, Boss, how did I do?”
“Well, Father Bobbie, first of all, the proper terms are ‘The Father, Son and the Holy
Ghost, not Big Daddy, The Kid and The Spook. Next, it is Jesus Christ and the
Apostles, not J.C. and His Boys. And lastly, next Sunday there will be a TAFFY-
PULLING CONTEST at ST. PETERS, not the other way around. Got it?”
(Fr. Mitchell decided to resign when he learned that the Monsignor was transferring
him to a church 500 miles north of the Arctic Circle.)
