SILL HONORS LT ROBERT L. ROSS BASEBALL
FIELD MARKER
LITTLE LEAGUE BALL PARK NAMED IN
HONOR OF LT ROSS This
is John Horgan, President of Peabody West Little League (PWLL) in
Peabody, Massachusetts. You may recall that in 2017, you assisted PWLL
in having American Flags flown over Ft. Sill and Schofield Barracks in
honor of 1st Lt. Robert L. Ross, after whom the park where our little
league fields are located is named. In 2018, I began working with two
league sponsors to design, finance, build, and install a new sign for
1st Lt. Ross at our fields. I have attached a few pictures of that sign
to this e-mail. We were planning a sign unveiling ceremony this past
Spring, but had to cancel because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We now plan
on having that ceremony in the Spring 2021. We are playing our little
league season now with many precautions, but we want to make sure we do
the sign unveiling right, thus the reason for waiting until Spring. The
new sign is 7' tall x 8' wide and made of Barre Vermont Gray Granite. It
was made to stand for generations to come and will ensure 1st Lt. Ross
is never forgotten. Your help with the American Flags in 2017,
inspired us to find a way to make this sign happen. It took a little
longer than expected, but it got done and it looks amazing. Thanks
again for everything. Sincerely, John
Horgan,
President Peabody
