Celebrating and Remembering Mother

NCAA Final Four, 1997

'Tis Mother's birthday today, and were she still with us, she would be turning 93. She was such a terrific woman, an awesome mother, a true treasure. She only got to see the house a couple of times in that first year after I bought it, prior to her devastating automobile wreck, but she loved it for me and was always so interested in its possibilities. I think she'd like it very much.
