**% When the kids are playing ball this summer make sure they use proper safety equipment. Before, during and after the game ^^^^ Before you send the kids out to play competitive baseball you make sure they have the right tools. Stuff like batting helmets and catcher's gear. Things to protect them during the game. You can also help safeguard them on the way to the game. And on the drive home, too. That's where Buick LeSabre comes in. Because LeSabre has safety equipment like anti-lock brakes, available traction control, and a reinforced steel safety cage. So, as the Official Car of American Legion Baseball, we encourage you to play it safe. On the field and on the road.

    Henderson Tinsley Riggan Henderson Tinsley Riggan Chief Electricians Mate Born November 8, 1911 Killed in Action November 1, 1944 Henderson Tinsley Riggan was born on November 8, 1911, in Surry County, North Carolina. He was the second child and oldest son of James Thomas and Dora Hatcher Riggan. James was born in 1871 and Dora was born in 1881, and they got married on April 29, 1909. Called “Tinsley” by his family, he was named after his grandfathers, Robert Henderson Riggan and Jesse Tinsley Hatcher. His grandmothers were Lucy Ann Hodges Riggan and Mary Etta Creed Hatcher, all of which lived in North Carolina. Tinsley had four sisters, Lucy Etta, Beulah Eastman, Dora Belle Ellen and Virginia Dare, who died when she was two months old, and three brothers, Reuben DeWitt, Roland Ellsworth and Bedford Brown. In addition he had five half siblings, Lala Infanta, Cora Thelma, Frances Manie, Thomas Manley, who died when he was two months old, and Lloyd Vestal from James’ first marriage. Other than Thomas, they were all very young when their mother died and were raised by Tinsley’s mother, Dora. The Riggans moved to Hopewell in 1922, and lived at 1711 Atlantic Street then later at 100 South 5th Avenue. Tinsley’s father ran a service station on Rt. 10 and later a grocery store on 15th Avenue, and attended Primitive Baptist Church near Fort Lee.
