I think you answered your own question of why he did the Junior High games. He always had a ball doing them. That's why I did just about any kind of baseball thrown my way (within reason). I just loved umpiring, and didn't really attach any special status to a particular level.
Once umpiring gets into your blood, it's hard to let it go. I want all of you who are still working baseball to remember how lucky you are, because it's rough when it's over.
