...past year or so, the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Ariz., owned by Marriott Corp., has presented such menu items as New York-cut sirloin steak in three sizes (10 oz. for $9.75, 8 oz. for $8.25, 6 oz. for $6.75) and baked stuffed shrimp in two portions-six for $7.75, four for $5.50.

Back at Phoenix, Terry was a starter for the Camelback Spartans' baseball team. He wasn't a big baseball fan, but his older brother Bob was all-State three years in a row. "Baseball was a kind of family obligation. As far back as I can remember, we were always at ball games." His younger brother Dan is now holding down Terry's old spot at third base...
