I'm a Proud Uncle and a Little Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, last week my Niece, Katie, graduated from the 8th grade. During the End of Year Exercises she was awarded Female Athlete of the Year.  She is a really strong Basketball player and when the season was over she went on to play Volleyball.   Being a very strong basketball player she will continue playing in High School next year - YEA KATIE!!!
