THREE TEAMS OF GREAT SOFTBALL PLAYERS PARTICIPATED IN THE STATE ELKS SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT IN DELAND, FLORIDA ON APRIL 25TH AND 26TH.
FORT PIERCE LODGE 1520 SENT AN A-TEAM, B-TEAM AND AN OVER 50 TEAM.

ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN WINNING THE TOURNAMENT, THEY WON THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHEN THEY AWARDED ONE OF THEIR TEAMMATES' SHIRT TO HIS WIDOW, DEBBY DALY. BILLY DALY DIED LAST YEAR DOING WHAT HE LOVED - PLAYING BASEBALL, ON THE FIELD IN FORT PIERCE. HIS MOM AND DAD, TOM AND MARGE LEWIS WERE ALSO THERE.

IN HIS HONOR, ALL TEAM MEMBERS LINED UP ON THE BASELINE IN DELAND AND MADE THE PRESENTATION TO DEBBY. BECAUSE OF THIS, AND THE WAY THE TEAMS ALL WORK TOGETHER, THEY WERE AWARDED THE CAMARADERY AWARD AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND. DALY, AS WELL AS JOHN D. HENRY, PER, FORT PIERCE 1520, WERE INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME.
