Spring Chapter Meeting May 22
Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Rich Arpi, 2445 Londin Lane East, Unit 410, Maplewood, Minnesota 55119-5547, rwaces@cs.com, and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. Generally, up to five presentations may be accommodated, and these will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Research Committee (which also consists of Tom Swift, Dan Levitt, Cary Smith, Bob Tholkes, and Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by May 8, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies, hosted by Howard Luloff, starting at 9:00. The research presentations will take place in the morning with a Twins baseball operations executive and/or panel of former players in the afternoon. Howard will then conduct a trivia quiz. Registration for the meeting is $8, which includes lunch. There is also a meeting-only price of $5. Those wanting lunch must RSVP to Howard Luloff at 952-922-5036, hfan77@webtv.net, by May 15. Tickets for the Brewers-Twins game are $17 each. To attend the game, send a check payable to Halsey Hall SABR by April 30 to Howard Luloff, 2509 Princeton Court, St. Louis Park 55416.

Galen grew up playing neighborhood ball in Kansas and attended his first game, between the Royals and A’s, in the early 1970s. “We left after 12 innings with the score tied at 0 - 0. Game eventually ended in the 13th at 1-0. I don’t remember who won. We took some German visitors to the game. It was difficult trying to explain the game of baseball to them when nothing was happening on the field!” He occasionally attends Twins games and is looking forward to the new stadium. Galen is a sports-minded freelance back-of-the-book indexer and has been indexing books since 2002. He has created approximately 250 indexes, including those for several baseball histories, Playing for Their Nation: Baseball and the American Military during World War II by Steven R. Bullock; The American Indian Integration of Baseball by Jeffrey Powers-Beck; and After Many a Summer: The Passing of the Giants and Dodgers and a Golden Age in New York Baseball by Robert E. Murphy. Born in 1942, Galen shares his September 1 birthday with fellow chapter members Rick Mason and Jim Wyman as well as Jim O’Rourke, Rico Carty, Cloyd Boyer, David West, Rob Wilfong, Garry Maddox, Dean Stone, Hub Pruett, Rocky Marciano, Conway Twitty, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ronald “Spigg Nice” Blackwell, James J. Corbett, Ed Podolak, Gloria Estefan, Christopher Columbus, Boxcar Willie, Johnny Mack Brown, Dr. Phil, and Sunny Von Bulow. Also new to the Halsey Hall Chapter: Mark Pysick, Bob Zauner.
