The Paul E. Roman Award The 2005 Lodi Tournament served as the venue for the launch of the Paul E. Roman Award given to the campers who most exemplify what we are trying to accomplish with our tournaments. For those of you who didn't get a chance to meet Paul who passed away in 2002, get yourself a copy of his wife Jackie's book and you'll see why he was chosen to represent this award. Just as the Dodgers have their David Blakemore award, we will recognize some campers each year for their contribution to the events. Each year, previous winners will be asked to select new award recipients. Winners will be announced at the Lodi tournament each year and they will be awarded a certificate as well as have their names etched on a perpetual plaque. Each certificate reads as follows:

JACKIE ROMAN ANNOUNCES NEW BOOK - "THE LEGACY OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER"
Jackie and Ryan Roman attended the Lodi tournament and after the first Roman Awards were announced, Jackie let everyone know that her new book is ready. After Paul's death, Jackie decided a good way for her to get through the healing process was to put her thoughts down in words. What she came up with was book about Paul and her father, Jack, called "The Legacy of Love and Laughter".
Jackie has provided the following details about the book and how to get yourself a copy:
Title: The Legacy of Love and Laughter
Short Description: The book is about Paul and my dad Jack. My dad was such a character that everyone said I had to write this book because no one would believe the things he did in life while living to 79. It's about Paul and his life, his friends, tributes from all of his family, friends and baseball compadres. It's the other side of a man that most people don't know and it is a treasure of stories that happened in our 30 years of marriage. You will laugh hysterically and it will bring a tear to your eye as well. Ryan has also written a chapter that you will really enjoy. He has his dad's sense of humor.
