THE NORMAN J. HUBNER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Ron “Doc” Reed was one of the finest three-sport athletes ever produced at LaPorte High School. Standing 6-6, he made a great target as a football end, was an excellent scorer and rebounder in basketball and a power pitcher in baseball. After graduating from LPHS in 1961, he attended the University of Notre Dame to play basketball and baseball and had a particularly outstanding career on the hardwood. In 1965 Reed signed a contract with the Milwaukee Braves - who later moved to Atlanta, Ga. - as a free agent and had a brief minor league career. From 1965-67 he also filled the key sixth-man role for the Detroit Pistons and could have had a successful NBA career had he not chosen to concentrate on baseball. He made his debut for the Braves on Sept. 26, 1966. In 1968 he made the National League All-Star team and in 1969 he had his best-ever record (18-10), helping Atlanta win its first division title. On April 8, 1974 he was the winning pitcher as Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record with his 715th career home run. He spent part of 1975 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He then had eight very successful years as a relief pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies. A fierce competitor, he had 17 saves and a brilliant 2.23 ERA in 1978. One year later he led the majors with 13 wins in relief. He was a key member of the Phillies’ 1980 World Series champions and the 1983 World Series runner-up. After one year with the Chicago White Sox in 1984, Reed retired with an 18-year record of 146-140, 103 saves, 1,481 strikeouts and a 3.46 ERA in 2,476 innings. LaPorte honored him with “Ron Reed Day” on Dec. 19, 1980. Ron Reed - 2008.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS MARY C. GORMLEY MILTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02186 JOHN P. PHELAN Superintendent of Schools Assistant Superintendent (617)-696-4808/09 For Curriculum & Personnel (617)-696-4811/12 MATTHEW J. GILLIS Assistant Superintendent For Business Affairs (617) 696-5041 To: Faculty, Staff, Parents and Guardians of Milton Public Schools From: Mary Gormley, Superintendent Re: E-Blast Newsletter Date: May 1, 2012 From the Desk of the Superintendent: Although I appreciate our Milton Public School teachers each and every day, it is important to note that National Teacher Appreciation Week will be held May 7 to May 11th. In honor of that occasion, I have asked some of my staff -- along with some of Milton’s prominent citizens -- to talk about their favorite teacher. For many of us, even decades after leaving school, the memory of a cherished teacher will never leave us. Please take a moment to thank your child’s teacher with an email or a handwritten note. I know they will be grateful. Here are some memories of “favorite teachers” from the past. – Mary C. Gormley Tucker Principal Marcia Uretsky: “My favorite teacher was Mrs. Hahn who taught ninth grade Algebra and tenth grade Geometry. Math was always one of my more difficult subjects and I always shied away from it. Mrs. Hahn taught math in a way that I could understand it and not just memorize it. I became an A student under Mrs. Hahn's instruction. I also learned how an excellent and passionate teacher can affect a student's growth in a content area and of their perception of themselves as a student.

The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club February 2019
The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ February 2019 By Dave Badertscher; photos by Linda Lovejoy The Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club held its annual Gameboree banquet and fundraiser on Saturday, January 19, 2019, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria. This year’s theme was “All-Stars, Gold Gloves and National League Honors.” More than 180 Braves fans, honored guests, and Braves officials turned out for the Fan Club’s largest event of the year. Emcee Paul Byrd (pictured below) was a big hit. The reception and silent auction opened at 5:00 with a fine selection of Braves and other baseball memorabilia. Thanks go to Silent Auction and Raffle Coordinator Nate Morgan and his crew, as well as to Fan Club members who generously donated items. As usual, all proceeds go to the Phil Niekro Scholarship Fund. This year guests in the Auction Room were entertained by Braves organist Matthew Kaminski. Quite a nice treat! Once everyone was seated for dinner in the Cobb Ballroom, Fan Club President Howard Evans introduced the guests and award winners at the head table. Atlanta’s favorite tenor, Timothy Miller, sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” During dinner folks enjoyed a slide presentation highlighting the Fan Club’s many fun and worthwhile activities over the past year. Following dinner, Howard thanked Club members who were involved in planning, organizing, and setting up this year’s event, especially Gameboree Program Coordinator Wayne Coleman and Logistics Coordinator Judy Messer. Howard talked about upcoming Club activities in 2019, including six monthly social gatherings in the SunTrust Cabanas, our Major League trip to Washington, DC, on June 21-23, and minor league trips to see the Rome Braves and the Gwinnett Stripers this summer.
