Ju- lius “Dodo” Villareal played some, red hot baseball here and in Mia- mi. He was a member of the im- mortal Key West Conch diamond agregation composed of Cyril Grif- | fen, Bill Cates, Esmond Albury, A- cevedo, Chita Baker and Jackie Carbonell among others. Jack Vil- lareal, played plenth of good base- ball, softball and basketball \ and was with the winning Conch base- |" ball club and with the Sports Shop Basketball five who won several City Trophies. ‘Bunzie’’ Villareal played soft- ‘ball for several seasons with ‘the Adam’s Dairy nine and was al- ways known as a hard digging player. A fine pitcher, he led the Island City Baseball league in 1949 in the old stadium on the same site as the new one.

On the eve ‘ofboth trips by boat with the Coast Guard, big stories came up in Key West demanding my pre- sence at The Citizen. In February I resolved to go at the first opportunity in Pen Ed- gar’s Sea Bee, which takes only 40 mitiutes to go over and returns in the same day. z Two weeks ago Don and Bernice Joseph, winter visitors from Erie, Pa., said they would like to make the Tortugas trip. My hopes grew high. Pilot Pen Edgar set the date of flight for the three of us, told us to be in readiness, to take as little as possible so as not to over- load. We set it up for last Sunday. Sat- urday. was stormy and so rough that the Coast Guard boat took ele- yen hours returning from the Fort. Sunday dawned bright and clear, but Pen said it was too windy and choppy for a good landing at Fort Jefferson. Disappointed we agreed on Monday. I asked Jeannette Blount to substitute for me at the paper and all arrangements were made, Monday morning I woke to a swift gale blowing over the Is- land, but the Josephs and I none- theless went out to Edgar’s house on the Bight. “No flying there today, come on in and have a coffee,” he said. Diconsolately I rushed to the paper after we agreed on Tuesday for the flight. Tuesday dawned muggy and dark. I checked with Pen for the taking for much of the session | third time. “Not a good day,” he said. “I wouldn’t take her out today. Small craft warnings are up.” Once more I returned to The Ci- tizen in the early morning, my hopes for the Tortugas trip dashed. Tuesday however became bright and clear. Our hopes rose once more for the trip, but my heart sank at having to tell the boss once more ‘that T'might be away from the ‘office and ‘would have to get a ‘The tide of Weather turned. -Bo- ca Chica!

Once more we got our bathing suits, flippers, and gog- in readiness. gtes Wednesday dawned perfect, typi- cal Key West weather, except for the utter stillness following the gales of the past four or five days. At 8:30 Wednesday morning we drove up to Pen Edgar's dock on Garrison Bight. Pen was sitting | waiting for us. The blue-green Sea Bee shone in the early morning sun. He looked askance at all of our diving equipment, but placed it in the plane. “Hope we can get off the water in this calm,” he said. “We gill, we have to,” 1 said growing desparate by now. Surely nothing more could prevent our getting to Tortugas. We got into the little plane. Pen taxied out through the Bight-in the light blue-green water. He warmed. up the engines and gathered speed, speed, speed. I looked at that wa- ter along side silently praying that we would make the take-off. Suddenly 1 felt a light lift sky- ward, We were off.

At the present time, he stressed, USO has few funds for expansion. Crittenden makes recommenda- additional space, but there is no guarantee that any ac- tion will be taken at higher policy leevels on those recommendations, he stressed.
