He is writer, who is working on a screenplay concerning the Buck Weaver story called The Curse of Silence that grew out of his interest in the Black Sox, which he has extensively researched all over the country.

Besides baseball and writing, his passions involve prairie restoration. Dr. Fletcher has restored over 200 acres in downstate Illinois into a modern day Walden Pond with wetlands, praire grasses, wildflowers, and native hardwood trees.

Patricia & Gordon Anderson

Pat Anderson
Niece of George “Buck” Weaver

Patricia (Scanlon) Anderson knew better than anyone the pain Buck suffered for being banished from baseball and spending the rest of his life trying to clear his name. Buck Weaver became her surrogate father when her own father died. “I fight because I owe him,” said Anderson. Pat’s late sister, Bette Scanlon, for many years a financial writer at the Chicago Sun-Times, also carried the torch for her uncle. Pat Anderson died at age 92 in April of 2019 – read the story at https://chicagobaseballmuseum.org/chicago-baseball-history-news/chicago-baseball-history-feature/niece-led-cause-clear-buck-weaver-dead-age-92/.
