so sorry to hear of Hank's passing. I was born and raised in Mapleton and as a boy Hank was a boyhood hero as a great pitcher for Mapleton in the Huntingdon Co. League. He was well over 6 feet tall and when he wound up and kicked those big spikes up all you see was that and by the time you saw the ball it was too late. I knew the whole Covert family and a great bunch of people they were. Once again so sorry to hear of his passing. Thought you might like to hear from someone who knew him in Mapleton. There were a lot of us that knew and liked him.
