Yesterday, on a whim, I emailed the Dodgers Manager Emeritus, Tommy Lasorda and told him of Norm's devotion and current situation and today he called and invited us down to LA as his guests to watch the Dodgers. What a great guy to take time out of his busy day to call us..He said that he will be married 61 years this year( Norm and I will celebrate our 41st anniversary Feb. 6th.). When I said " So, you were married in 1950?" He said," Yeah,when I was two!"

The Bluest Dodger of Them All
As many of you know, Norm has been a Dodger fan since he was ten years old. Over the years we have been to Dodger games in LA, St. Louis ,Seattle and anywhere, anytime that we could go. For Norm's 4oth birthday, we sent the kids to Minnesota and flew to LA for a Cardinal-Dodger series. We went to spring training in 1987 in Vero Beach and spring training last year in Arizona for their first year in the Cactus League In June last year Norm, Andy and Pete had Father's Day in Boston at an inter-league series of the Red Sox and the Dodgers.
