The Yankees announced that recently both Joan (Whitey) Ford and Arlene (Elston) Howard have passed. Both ladies have attended OTD ceremonies as representatives of their husbands. I remember seeing both attending during Whitey & Ellie's careers. When Ellie unexpectedly passed away, I received a sweet note signed by Arlene along with a copy of his funeral service - treasured memorabilia Condolences to both families.
