Who or what is Lew Stick?

[Kawika]

It looks like it reads Stick (comma) Stick (hyphen) Lew Stick so Stick, Stick, Lew Stick. One of the meanings of stick is endure. Employing the imperative mood maybe the writer is telling Criger in a colloquial way to "hang tough". The letter "t" in the first Stick is not consistent with the other t's so that is problematic. The "e" in Lew is consistent with Tesreau's e's (and certainly not with 'Nuf Ced McGreevey's above). The flow is also mindful of Tesreau's penmanship. The "L" in Lew has that loopy look to it (kinda like Gehrig's L). Jew Stick? I don't think so. Maybe Big Jeff was a bad speller. This thread should be copied to the autograph side so the experts can have a look.
