A Boy and Baseball

Yesterday, Tuesday, March 20th I had the honor of attending the dedication of the Ben Harden Memorial Field (baseball). My friend, the father of Ben Harden invited me to the ceremony, and I was able to meet most of his family. If you remember, I was the fireman/paramedic first on the scene when Ben was hit by a car when he was only 5 years old. He lived another three days after the accident. Here is the link and the rest of the story.

I will supply the article I wrote about the accident that clear day on Thanksgiving, seven years ago, upon request. Or you can search the November articles of this y'here blog and find the link there. It was a solemn, yet cheerful ceremony yesterday, a spring day, the sun setting, cool wind, and the memory and name of a boy whose life was cut short now memorialized on a field of the game he loved.
