Hey Geoff,
Say 'happy birthday' to Brett from everyone in Kane County.
I will see Brett this year playing ball.
I just planed my families vacation
and I will either see him on June 17th at Nashville or June 25th at Reading.
It all depends on if he is in 'AAA' or 'AA' - hopefully 'AAA', but we'll see.
I will take plenty of pics for you,
and send them along when my family gets home from the vacation on the 27th of June.
Thanks,
David Malamut

Hi David,
and thanks for the note.
I have sent it on to Brett, and I'm sure he appreciates everyone's wishes.
He has his plane ticket and visa organised, and takes off for Florida at 6.00am on Monday 10th February.
He has had a good offseason, concentrating on conditioning plus over the last month he has done batting practise and throwing every day.
He is looking forward to getting back and finalising his preparations for Spring Training.
Naturally he is hoping for a 'AAA' assignment, but whatever happens he is determined to have a terrific season.
I will write and let you know where he is sent.
---and will be looking forward to looking at the photos in June!!!
Regards,
Geoff
