As a huge sports fan I would consider your dad to have lived a "dream" life
It must have been interesting and fun for you as well through the years. Please accept my sincere condolenses to you, your family and all the friends who mourn his passing. He is now heavens gain. If I am not being too forward I would ask his name, as I would love to read some of his articles and more about him. If you would prefer not to say, I understand. I attended a Senators game as a kid in the 60's and followed all sports even though I wasn't a big Washington fan. I may have even read some of his articles from back then. Thanks for posting this.

Sounds like he may have been a contemporary with Shirley Povich at Wa Post.**
