Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\nLong time readers will know that some of my favorite \u201cAround Town on
\nthe Web\u201d e-mail requests come from Hanover\u2019s future leaders \u2013
\nour students. The following is no exception. In fact, I have reprinted
\nthe request in its entirety because not only is it well written, but
\nit also speaks volumes of both Steve Matheny (a former Hanover High
\nSchool student leader) and Ryan Kelleher (a current Hanover High
\nstudent leader).
\n\u201cI am organizing the Third Annual Matheny Baseball Camp that has
\nbeen offered the past two years over April vacation to young baseball
\nplayers ages 8 – 12 in the town of Hanover. The High School baseball
\nprogram will offer campers instruction in fielding, hitting, base
\nrunning and pitching. We will have live games, fun drills, and
\nbaseball specific exercises. There will be t-shirts given and pizza on
\nthe last day. The cost of the program is $50.00 and it runs Monday,
\nApril 15th thru Friday April 19th, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
\nAll proceeds benefit the Steven J. Matheny Foundation. Steve’s story
\nis one of inspiration, resilience and sheer determination. Steve was
\nthe most revered player ever to wear the Hanover High School Hockey
\njersey. Steve was first diagnosed with Leukemia during his sophomore
\nyear of high school at age 16. Immediately upon diagnosis, Steve vowed
\nto do one thing and one thing only…return to the ice. Steve’s dream
\ncame true as he battled his way into remission and played his entire
\njunior season for Hanover High School, winning the school’s first
\nstate championship in the process. During Steve’s senior campaign, he
\nwas readmitted to the hospital where it was discovered he had fallen
\nout of remission. Although he fought valiantly until the very end, all
\nthe while never once uttering a single complaint, Steve succumbed to
\nhis illness on August 1, 1998. We ask you to celebrate Steve’s life
\nand legacy by supporting a scholarship fund in Steve’s name.
\nI am kindly requesting your support with the Matheny Baseball Camp by
\nforwarding this to the people of Hanover.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your consideration,
\nRyan Kelleher” <\/p>\n
