In the 1950’s and 1960’s Elaine played fastpitch softball traveling around the country with her team. She was an excellent third baseman and catcher. She competed in four world tournaments and was voted MVP several times throughout the years. During retirement Elaine enjoyed her cats, dogs, birds, and the outdoors with all of her plants.

Some have feathers, some have fur, some can chirp and some can purr. From fish below to birds above, I send the animal world my love.
