Website Update
The Old Timers website is up and running and can be
downloaded by going on to www.sfbot.net. Kris Kimball and
his committee have done an outstanding job putting it together. As a member you will be very proud to see what has
been done as there are a number of links that make for interesting reading. Bob Fifes son Rob, who is in the business of
creating websites for business has thoroughly gone over our
site and indicated that weve done a good job but there is
more yet to do if we want to accomplish more things for the
Association. Hes evaluating things for us and will be making suggestions as to things we can do to not only attract new
members down the road but also make our meeting of more
interest. One of the things your new president and his Boar
are working on are ways to make the dinner meetings more
interesting with guest speakers such as we had last month. If
there is anyone that you would like for us to try and get send
in or call with regards to a topic or person you would like to
hear. Just contact me at the newsletter info box on the last
page. And, dont forget we need pictures for the website of
yourself during a sporting event from back in the day. If you
go onto the site you will see several pictures and they are fun
to show off our members. Just get them to me and well put
them on website and get the picture back to you.

Crab Feed Wrap-Up
This years Crab Feed far outdid any expectations of success
as the committee headed by Bill Jones did a truly outstanding
job. However, nothing would have been accomplished had it
not been for the following persons and businesses who made
donations and provided assistance in making the night a success. This note is a small gesture of thanks to those people
who helped but better yet it would be nice to help support the
businesses that donated their services. Many Thanks to the
following people for their contributions:
The Nick Gust Family of Nicks Rockaway Beach
Restaurant, who donated dinner for 2 and a nights
lodging at the motel.
Jim Griffin for a foursome of golf at Sharp Park GC
and also a gift certificate of $25 at Safeway.
Johns Grill a $50 certificate for lunch or dinner.
Kathy Lewis for her four tickets to a Giants game.
Wine Donation Next MonthAn anonymous donor will
provide a bottle of wine at your table next month...Thank you
to Marioday!
Bull Pen Chatter
This years Super Bowl was a Black-Eye for football. The
game ended on the worst coaching decision ever made in
football, then a brawl erupted that seemed to go on forever.
The Patriots owner (Kraft) is the most righteous jerk ever
known as he expounded on the virtues of his team amidst the
allegations of cheating during the playoffs. Then having
Brady mentioned in the
same breath as Montana
is too much to fathom.
Great comment made by
former Niner Charles
Haley. Baseball will be
back in a few days men!
Pitcher and catcher report on February 19th.
Hooray!
Giants Senior Vice
