During his past 8 years of illness, he accomplished two goals; traveling by RV to each of the 48 states, cruising to Hawaii and in June, to Alaska………marking all 50 states. Second goal was to see an MLB game at every one of the 30 parks……….accomplished in 2004. Even picked up 4 minor league games on the road.
