Save this date! Red Sox tribute to Ted Williams etc.
Hi everyone. I am the events coordinator for the USS Saratoga Foundation based in Providence & North Kingstown RI. The Ted Williams museum is sending us a Korean War Era plane like the one flown by Mr. Williams and we are restoring it to make it into a satellite Ted Williams/Boston Red Sox Musuem. They are also sending us Ted Williams artifacts!
On April 30th we will be hosting a fundraising dinner attended by former Red Sox Greats (TBA) and a Golf Match on May 1st. Local golfers and fans will have a chance to pair up on the course with Red Sox Legends! Save the date and if you are interested let me know and I will contact you as more details become available.

Hi. Thats awesome about the plane flown by Ted Williams (see my avatar), but one thread on the subject was enough so I removed the duplicate one you had posted.

Re: Save this date! Red Sox tribute to Ted Williams etc.
That's pretty cool.
On a side note, has anyone ever tried to glue Thurman Munson's plane back together???  |

I originally thought that manatee avatar was just some dude doing like some karatee kick and he had a huge ass foot.

Re: Save this date! Red Sox tribute to Ted Williams etc.
OK I am definetely lost now lol! Anyway, we are getting a Panther Jet and we are restoring it in the colors of Ted Williams Military Unit. It should be pretty neat.
The really cool thing is that Lou Gorman is on our board of directors and he will help us contact former Red Sox Greats who will attend the dinner the night before the golf tournament and local people can buy raffle tickets to win a chance to play a round of golf with the Red Sox star of their choice!

Re: Save this date! Red Sox tribute to Ted Williams etc.
You'll be where? At the dinner? Golf tournament? I haven't even told you where it is yet! lol Does this mean you would like more information when it becomes available???
By the way, it does too look like a manatee, but what is it hitting with it's tail?
