    Fond Memories…

    Your article was interesting about the world famous Yankee Stadium….I was there in 1955…1958 for the world's largest religious convention that was held there and the nearby Polo Grounds for 8 days…from July 27-August 3. The peak attendance of 253,922 for both stadiums to hear the widely advertised public address that Nathan H. Knorr then president of Watch Tower Society gave was GOD’S KINGDOM RULES…IS THE WORLD’S END NEAR?…the New York papers said this was the "best behaved convention ever held in New York city"…Delegates came from 123 countries. Mass baptism at Orchard Beach was 7,136.

    Not to be overlooked was the mass feeding at both stadiums over 800,000 meals cooked and serve by volunteers…the Army…Navy…and the Civil Defense came to get tips on how to mass feed people if a disaster was to come.

    I was there again in 1961…1963…1968 and 1973…and then in the new stadium in 1986…1988…those were the days…I was disappointed when they renovated the stadium…it just wasn't the same anymore…

    See http://www.divinewill1958.com for historic picture.

    Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses made history at Yankee Stadium and I was proud to be there for the ball game of life everlasting…

    Thanks again…Paul E. Beerwort formerly of Philly but now in Eastman, Georgia….
