The Longbow Papers

Joseph Allen Bosco - April 14, 2007
Joseph Allen Bosco came into this world at 5:24 p.m., April 14, in New Orleans: 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Mother and baby are fine; as is the proud father, and brand new grandmother. The new grandfather (me) is bouncing off the walls in Beijing with excitement!

Three New Orleans Families are One: Mocklin, Fein and Bosco

He didn't look that happy and proud when the O. Perry Walker High School baseball team beat Jesuit for New Orleans City Championship in 1986

Linda, still so beautiful, our son and grandson

Yes, the resemblence is there, son. But I think he will hit for more power--with some speed, please!

Ronnie "Scoop" Jackson and Joseph. He was my first baseman and left-handed pitcher, starter and short-relief, for almost a decade on three different teams. He is my "No. 2 Son" forever.

Yes, he really is. I'm having feelings I've never felt before. Thank you.

Most sincerely,

Joseph

He is that, indeed. However, his father, my son Joseph, came into this world really quite 'wee,' at 5 pounds, 2 ounces. Linda and I couldn't take him home for a few days because he was too slight. That's why I say this Joseph will hit for more power; he's not really so wee, as babies go, that is.

Thank you, Chris, I appreciate your comment greatly.

All the best,

Joseph
