Lester Smith - December 18, 2011
"Anyone who played on the same team as Les (2007 Atlantic Division Lions) were very lucky indeed. I really thought that Les had the most beautiful/perfect swing I have ever witnessed in EMASS and who can forget, when even in his 80's, how he would pinch-run for guys 20+ years younger. Best of all was his great sense of humor and positive attitude." - Jimmy Thompson
