"I have arrived where I started, and I know it for the first time." PQ
The 1968 Carsonville League Champs
In the front row of the team photo below, is my first husband, John Seth (41) and last husband: Bob Rickett (48). The picture also captured our friends and classmates: Bob's brother Tom and my cousin Terry Phipps as well as brothers from other mothers. Now, my grandson Dan Rickett's story has become part of my story.
Glory Dazed. John Seth, all conference "center" was my ticket out of town. I hitched my wagon to his star, and we went out in flames after a few trips backwards around the sun and birthing our righteous babe, Tamara.
Coach Joe, & his son Dan, wide receiver and safety.
The consummate fan is my 82 year old mother in law, Leola Rickett. She was in the stands for Tom and Bob in 1968 and she's here for Joe and Dan. I hope Bob married a girl like his mother!
Bob and Tamara at Tom's funeral in July 2010. Bob is 60 years young today, November 19,2010.
Happy Birthday Bobby! Love, PQ
I absolutely love this Pat! Landmark Post! Hurling out of the starting blocks, this Barn Cat is going to add a lot of spice to the blogosphere. I didn't hear the music on the video, but your words bring the music of the tale right up front and center.
ReplyDeleteBarn Cat?! I love a barn full of cats ('cause ev'rybody wants to be a cat!).
ReplyDeleteIn your first entry, you have mastered the fine art of word, visual and audio, with a spark of poetry. Awesome, Aunt 'Ricia!
Music and Dance are nice additions.
