I had to play my part for it to work. “I walk to the sideline and sit on the bench. It’s sinking in. I’m done. It’s over and I’m out. I can’t undo it. Time’s arrow is unforgiving. I’m stunned. I feel empty. “Medford wins. “I walk down the hall of the clubhouse into the Medford locker room. Bennie Talbot thinks I am going there to fi ght. He follows me to back me up.

I was privileged to spend quality time with ‘Bouls’ at one of his favorite haunts, the IACC on Pearl St., as he battled his illness. Steve felt comfortable there with old friends, fellow postal workers and a ‘Fireball’ or two.

My heart goes out to his wife Jackie and to their two children, Jesse and Jacqueline, during this holiday season. Bouls, always on our mind. ty of 200 people. Tickets are $60/ per person.
