College President Helps Baseball Fans Survive Winter's Wait

In her capacity as chair of the Little League International Board of Directors, Penn College President Davie Jane Gilmour attended Monday's Williamsport Crosscutters Hot Stove Banquet. The annual charity event, held at The Genetti Hotel, helps eager baseball fans get through the seemingly interminable months before major-league Opening Day. Pictured, from left, are Ryne Sandberg, new manager of the Philadelphia Phillies; Cody Asche, Phillies third baseman (and former Crosscutter); President Gilmour; Joe Jordan, director of player development for the Phillies; Gregg Murphy, field reporter for Phillies TV broadcasts; and former major leaguer (and Montoursville native) Tom O'Malley, hitting coach for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan. The evening, which include the auctioning of sports memorabilia, raised more than $5,000 for the Lycoming County Special Olympics.
