Basketball??? Birthday!!!!!!! (Carolyn;Aunt Carolyn;Mom)

Thank you for the warm and amazing birthday wishes it so touched my heart I almost cried - well teared up anyway. That was so nice and the Beatles!

Well to set your basketball quest to rest I played basketball and was on the first female team to play at St. John's! Actually we won the national championship that year. If I can remember correctly I played either in 8th and 9th grade or just 9th grade. I wonder if our picture is on the wall? I was the one who could go on both sides of the court. So there you have it!!! I was always somewhat of a tomboy anyway and almost became one of the first women Firefighters in the 80's. I aced the verbal test, ran up and down a burning building with a breathing apparatus on my back, but flunked the pull ups. Curses to the upper body stregnth in some women.
