AARON WILL MOVE
HIS FAMILY HERE

Henry Aaron has revealed he will move his family to At-

lanta during the playing season
in 1966.

Milwaukee writers had quoted
Aaron as saying he would not
move his family to Atlanta be-
cause of possible problems of
discrimination.

“We visited in many of the
residential sections of the city

.. and both my wife and I
were awfully impressed. We
saw some truly lovely homes
down here.

“IF I don’t move my family
down here, I might as well join
the Army or something,” said
Aaron. “I wouldn’t get to be
with them (family) either. Sure
we'll move.”

Aaron was in town over the
weekend to receive the Two
Friends Award, along with Ed
eae from the 100 Percent
Wrong Club. He made a new
frier’ with the city he will soon
call home.

“Tll say what I said earlier,”
commented Aaron. “I said it
will be hard to leave Milwau-
kee where all our close friends
are, but I never said I wouldn't
move to Atlanta. That’s just one
of the many stories some
writers have twisted.

“TF I were to come on to At-
Janta and leave my family in

when the Braves transfer here

Milwaukee during the season, it
would be 10 to maybe 11 months
before I'd get to see them. I am
definitely not going to do that.”
Aaron, who talked real estate
while here, said, ‘““My wife and
I will be back, maybe not be-|
fore the start of this season, but
we will be back and looking.”
