Hal Norris

Hal Norris was a pitcher on the 1961 Jacksonville Jets. The photo on the left shows him in a training session with the California Angels at the Polo Grounds, where he is doing sit-ups. The photo is from The Desert Sun (Palm Springs, CA) of Feb. 28, 1961. Norris hails from Richland, WA, and is a graduate of Central Washington College.

The photo on the right is from a an obituary webpage honoring him. The obituary reveals a number of interesting pieces of information about him. He was born on 9/9/1933 in Illinois. He died on 6/19/2008 in Richland, WA. He was quite an entrepreneur. He was a founder and major financier of two firms -- Chem Nuclear Waste Management and Great Columbia Life Insurance Company. He was the developer and owner of "McDougals and My Place" bistro in Richland. He was a mentor to many other individuals who made their way into the business world as entrepreneurs. The "1951" on the second photo is indicative of his having been in his high school class of 1951. His nickname was "Frosty."
