FAVORITE SPORTS MEMORY OR ACCOMPLISHMENT?

One of my favorite sports memories is going out for a college women’s Lacrosse team, after being taught how to play by a friend, a week earlier.  I made it to the last round of tryouts before being cut.  When the coach realized that my limited experience got me as far as it did, I was offered the position of team manager, which enabled me to practice with the team. The hope was to develop my skills for a successful tryout performance the following year.  We never found out it that plan worked. I transferred to another college before the next season.

FUN FACT

I started playing the guitar late in life. I had my first lesson at age 50.  Since then, I’ve written a number of Guitar Etudes – scores for the practice of specific guitar concepts. And in 2020, I wrote my first piece for guitar.
