North Dakota lost a long-time umpire over the weekend to cancer. He told me last winter he wanted to be around to see his son graduate in May 2008, and he did. If any of you knew Bobby Larson, you may view his obituary here:
Robert "Bobby" Larson Obituary
Bobby got me started umpiring fast pitch about five yars ago. I consider him one of my mentors and I will miss him on the diamond this spring.
