My grandfather was a game warden in Georgetown County, where Tom Yawkey owned Mt. Pleasant Plantation. Tom and my grandfather became very good friends. My grandmother would cook Tom and his wife meals. I have numerous letters that Tom's wife, Jean, wrote my grandfather and grandmother. My grandparents were often invited to lunch with the Yawkeys.
The most important thing that i have now, since my grandfather's death, is Tom Yawkey's Boston Red Sox Letterman Coat, which has Tom Yawkey's signature embroidered into the back of the coat. This coat was given to my grandfather by Tom Yawkey.
