John's last year of his life was great in so many different ways. One of the most unique was his new found love of kickball. When John first told us that he had joined a kickball league that played on the Mall in Washington, we kidded him about taking up a sport that many people leave behind in the third grade. It was only later that we learned the true initial reason for joining was an excuse for John to get close to Alex. From that encounter last year, however, John found two loves; the first, of course, being Alex, but also a love of kickball -- not just for the sport but for the friendship, camaraderie and fun.A remembrance of John is featured in his league's newsletter for April 12th which can be found at: http://www.playnakid.com/pdfs/WB041207.pdf.
Another remembrance can be found on one of his teammate's blog at: http://kickballinthecity.blogspot.com/2007/04/real-world-hits-kickballagain.html
