FLAVOR00-NONE-0000-0000-000000000000 ;

You've received this email because you signed up or made a purchase at: http://www.BlackFives.com Dear , I'm reporting some sad but inevitable news ... Peacefully and poetically -- at 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on the eve of the full moon that began today -- the life of our friend the former professional basketball and baseball star George D. Crowe, came to an end. Please read my brief write up about the loss of this singularly remarkable man: http://www.blackfives.com/r-i-p-george-crowe-the-last-of-the-harlem-rens/ Crowe had been the last living member of the New York Renaissance (a.k.a. "Rens") professional all-black basketball team, for which he played during the late 1940s. He was 89 years old.
