Hey everyone, my name is Matthew DeBarros. I am a 19 year old aspiring sports writer, and I am attending Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. I was born and raised in Burlington, Massachusetts which is about 12 miles north of Boston. I grew up watching the Sox and I am the most intense Sox fan I know (I break stuff when they lose). Now I go to a school that is divided 50%-50% Sox-Yankees fans and it sucks.
My goals are to one day become a sports columnist for a Boston area newspaper or magazine. My favorite sports writers are Peter Gammons, Bill Simmons, Michael Smith, Michael Holley, Bob Ryan and Jackie McMullan. I try to update my blog 3 times a week, so keep on coming back to read my articles. Your comments are welcome.

Matt,
I read with interest your article about Ted Williams, in particular the incident involving his crash landing while in the Korean War. As a matter of fact, I have some information for you about that incident. You see, I am a former Marine and a retired Deputy Chief of Police from Bridgeport Connecticut. I once met Ted Williams, and had the opportunity to shake his hand. He said to me, “What a mitt, referring to my handshake, do you play baseball. no I remarked. I met him at an event that I used to Attend; it was the FBI-Marine Corps Association at Camp Smith in New York, Ted being a Former Marine would attend each year.
Getting back to my original point about his air accident in korea: And this I’m sure you will find amazing, while Ted was speaking at the event one year he asked if there were any police from Bridgeport Ct., there, and did we know Art Buccanan, because, Ted said, Art had saved his life during the Korean War. He asked us if we could get in touch with him because he would sure like to see him again. Well we did, because Art (Captain Buc Bucannan ) was still on the job. We asked him about saving Ted Williams life, and he said: Oh he told you that! Then he related what had occurred in the war. He said Ted was coming in for a landing and had engine trouble, he landed in the bay. Buc took his team and rowed out the the plane in a dingy, they fished Ted out of the Water. I knew Buc for over twenty years and he never mentioned that he had saved Ted Williams Life to me or anyone.
The next year we went back to the meeting at Camp Smith, and Buck came with us. Ted was there, the two of them met up again. They went over to a bench sat down and just talked for a while. Later I got Ted Williams Autograph, along with the Marine Comendants, both on a place mat with the image of the Iwo Jima flag raising on it. Sad to say, but Buc Also passed away about two years ago.
Dave Boston.

Hello forum members
I just became a member of this forum
Great job by the admin, mods and seriously every member around.
Yesterday I read that there is a treatment for diabetes on http://www.healthcaredaily.org
Is this way of curing diabetes mentioned actually true, If so I should have found out earlier! The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website
Has anyone tried beating diabetes this way?
Thanks
