WHEREAS, for the major part of this century, Boyd F. "Hawkbill" Hall has been a major benefactor of baseball, schools, and parks and recreation in Franklin County; and

WHEREAS, beginning as early as the 1920s, Boyd Hall has been involved in nearly all aspects of youth sports and recreation in Franklin County; and

WHEREAS, during the 1950s and 1960s, Boyd Hall helped to form county baseball leagues, where he coached for at least 20 years; and

WHEREAS, Boyd Hall founded an umpires' association, called games himself, and helped build the first fence at the Franklin County High School baseball field; and

WHEREAS, in 1994, Boyd Hall was recognized for his matchless contributions to baseball by being inducted into the Roanoke-Salem Baseball Hall of Fame; now, therefore, be it
