I can remember seeing Jim Willing play both first base and pitcher in the men's softball league, even though he had only one arm. He could catch the ball, tuck the glove under the stump of his other arm, and throw just as well and anybody else. He is probably better known as being Pocomoke's milkman for many, many years. I believe he drove the milk truck for Sealtest milk.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011.  I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
