Just received word from her husband Ron Goble that my friend Linda died on Wednesday. She had had a rare lung cancer. I'll remember her big smile, her big laugh, her love for her family & for baseball, her good poetry.
Linda's poem about Gehrig and DiMaggio is truly outstanding, esp. for somebody 50 or more. Your poem about Hans and Baseball ranks up there too. Both are great for readings among poetry lovers.
