Considering the, contribu-
tions that Bill Batten made to
the sporting community in Ex-
eter, it would be wrong to ig-
nore his passing in this col-
umn. On the other hand, I am
probably the least qualified --per-
son to write a tribute to the
man. I met Bill just a few
months ago, and much of what
I know about him has been
passed down to me from the
multitude of friends and admir-
ers he had in the community.
Those are stories of heroism
and guts and a thousand other
adjectives that don't quite hit
the mark, but I'm not qualified
to write them down.
Ron Bogart, president of Ex-
eter Hawks, has written a spe=
cial tribute to Bill which will
appear in the program of the
coming Junior D tournament
his team is hosting this week-
end in Exeter. I think he makes
a good spokesman. The piece
is called simply: A Tribute to
Bill Batten.
We knew Bill as a reporter --
we recognized him with his
note pad and familiar camera.
We knew Bill as an avid sup-
porter of the sports teams in
this area, whether it be hockey,
baseball, football or whatever.
We knew Bill as a coach -- a
keen competitor who liked to
play it tough.
We knew Bill as a person --
friendly, sincere, honest. A
person who could give you a
"jab”, but one who could take
it when you gave it back. A
person who liked to get right
to the point about things -- not
one for a lot of detail. -
We will miss this man
around the rink, at the gym, or
on the field and we will always
remember him as a most hon-
est, straight forward reporter at
our sporting events in and
around Exeter.
R.L.B
liked to play It tough
I do have one little story to
tell about Bill Batten. It has to
do with our first meeting -- ac-
tually with the first words he
spoke to me. They are, no
doubt, ingrained in my mind
for life. I'm fairly certain I
failed to do what he asked, but
for me, it epitomizes the
straight -forward kind of man
that he was.
This is what he said as he led
me into" his office: "Can you
impress me in ten minutes?
