R.I.P. - Wayne Twitchell

When former major league pitcher Wayne Twitchell would tell his version of how he met his wife of 39 years, the story involved her seeking directions and him providing help.  In truth, both were out with friends when they met at a Southwest Portland pub. "He was trying to protect my reputation," Barbara Twitchell said with a laugh. "It was 1970." That chance meeting produced a marriage that stretched well beyond the 10-year major league career of the former Wilson High School star, who

died of cancer Thursday at 62.
