To Whom it May Concern,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rob Reed. I am a former player at PW under coach Hank DeMito from 1992-1996.

I am writing this to simply inform you of some recent happenings with regards to the future landscape of PW Baseball. If you have not already heard, construction for a new baseball facility at PW is set to begin soon.

With that being said, and along with myself, there are countless people who believe that the new baseball facility should bear the name of a man who meant more to PW and its students, than just being a coach and teacher. We all know what Hank DeMito meant, to not only every player he had coached, but every student he had taught and every person he had known throughout his life.

It only seems fitting that only months after saying goodbye to Hank, we are able to collaborate our effort's in seeing Hanks name so deservingly displayedon the new facility.

So if this idea is something you support, please forward this email to anyone who you think would like to join the cause. Maybe an old teammate?A neighbor? Friend? Or anyone who knew Hank for that matter!! Please do this ASAP, as eventually I will have to present this to the Colonial School Board. On that specific date (TBD), I would be honored if you would attend andstand next to me as I describe to the school board, why displaying Hank's name isn't something that "should" be done.... IT'S SOMETHING THAT"HAS" TO BE DONE!!

I anticipate the school board meeting sometime in the near future. As soon as I get a date, I will immediately inform you all as to when and where. Remember, the more people present, the louder our voice!!! If you are unable to attend and still feel like making your voice heard, feel free to forward me a personal letter/email describing why you think Hank's name should be displayed.

Thank you Tony Leodora for yourMarch 9tharticle in the Times Herald, as I'm sure your public voice on the topic conveyed and magnified Hank's right to bear his name.

Thanks for caring and don't forget toput the word out!!!

Stay tuned...

Respectfuly Yours,

Rob Reed
