Local couple's son plays ball in Africa
Dr. Ben Weaks of Greenville, son of Roy and Mrs. Weaks, joined an American All-Star softball team touring South Africa for three weeks. The Texans team won all 21 games, with Weaks accounting for six victories and receiving a ministerial medallion. He often plays weekend tournaments nationwide and helped his Stephenville based team place fourth at the ASA Regional in Fort Worth and 12th at the 1977 national in Midland. The story, by Luke John, was in the Greenville Herald Banner.
