It should actually be completed within two weeks and we will soon be on sight to begin the garden and frame structure. I have especially enjoyed working with Bob Frates who has always been accessible and easy to work with. On Friday, July 9t~ at 5:30pm we have scheduled a dedication ceremony which we invite you all to attend. It would also please us to have Mayor Williams say a few words. Following the ceremony, at 6:00pm a commemorative softball game will be played and at 8:00pm, a BBQ. I will inform you of the ceremony agenda at a later date. We hope to see you there. Thank you again. ~~K~iy Shearer cc: Parks & Recreation Commission October 22. 2003 Mr. Bob Frates Kenai Parks and Recreation Members of thc Kenai City Council Dear Mr. Frates and Members of the Kenai City-Council, We are writing in support of and to share our feelings about a request to name the Kenai softball fields after Steve Shearer. We met Steve ~he day he got off the plane in the early 1970's and were very close through the remainder of his life. We feel that his contribution to organized softball and the Kenat community in general, more than justifies naming the Kenai ball fields in his memory. From the humble beginnings of 2 or 3 "Bar" teams that got together and played slow pitch anywhere we could find a spot, Steve always took ~he lead in encouraging people to turn out, rounding up the umpires, and dragging the equipment around in the back of his truck. He was instrumental in working with Kao McGillvery at the very start of the Kenai men's league. He had endless enthusiasm for tournament organization, equipment acquisition, and ultimately helped secure certification with the Alaska Softball Association. He was very supportive of the women's and youth softball programs and was the backbone of the grassroots effort to build dug-outs and concession ,:· ,, , · - · .,, · acfimes at thc Kenm ball f, clds. He was a sohd member of our community and contributed in many other ways to make Kenai the place it is today. Not to mention, he was a damn good third baseman. Please give this request serious consideration and help us in remembering Steve. t Kilauea, HI 96754 808-828-1295 o. ..
