VADA ROLFS IS 94 TODAY

How many 94 year old women do you suppose go to basketball games because they like and admire the coach? Well, that is exactly why Vada Rolfs, Letha Nienke and another woman whose name I can't recall were at the middle school ball games tonight. They all live together at the Good Sam home and are friends of Scott Moore's. They wanted to see his team play.

Vada had a full day with several cakes, presents, greetings and phone calls from all over the US including Hawaii, she said. It has been a splendid day for her.

And I might say, the boys teams appear to me to be better organized and coached than in years past. They certainly play better than they did a few years ago so they have picked up some fundamentals along the way.

There are a lot of boys out and I think since they have three teams, they all get to play. I finally played out toward the end of the second game, but I got to see my neighbor, Chris Buchholz play as I told him I would. He's a good little ball handler and scrapper...he shows signs of being very good. If we keep all these kids in the program, it will show promise for our high school team.

Jean Schwerdtfeger was frying hamburgers so I bought one for the ride home. They were really good, fat patties and well seasoned. But ...they aren't serving onions any more. I don't know why. Maybe they think everyone is sitting too closely together at games.

Now to see if I can figure out what is wrong with my Outlook. What a pain!!!
