Memories

Danny from John's Creek, GA writes: "I know Dell when he went by Wendell. Went to school with him and played little league baseball with him in Yonkers. He was a great ballplayer in little league. I remember going to the stadium with some friends and Dell packed his pockets with baseballs to give away to many of his friends who came to see him play."
