but is there a special like experience you've had in retirement that sort
of rises to the top about being able to go and accept so many honors and
look back in the life. Yeah, it's a good four years I would say, of
my high school retired my number. And the city of pacific named the
ballpark after me. And so coming from,
you know, the hometown group, I've just felt especially honored. Mhm. From
the city and from my school. And of course that's always and you know, a
very special um recognition. Um Southeast Missouri State has put me in
there Athletic Hall of Fame and name there Softball Hall of Fame after me
and given me there alumni merit award and I just this past year received
the pious Alumni award, possible the presidential award from the
University of Minnesota. And that brought back many many alums and friends
and family and so that you know, helps it to be such a great honor when
it's being shared by by so many people. So I yeah, was inducted into the
ST louis Hall of Fame last year. And I think the numbers now 12. Um Hall
of Fame induction. So yeah, it's it's so great to be recognized, not just
because of the honor, but because of all the things that you know, it
brings back receiving the y award, you know, put me in a
the status of professional women that makes you feel good that your
contributions have have counted and uh and are going to be remembered and
of course, um all of the athletic ones remind you of all the teams that
you played on and teammates that you played with. And um, so it's just
been a wonderful experience and, and reminds you not only of,
of, I, I think that the team, but all the people that help bring you to
that point of
having a career worth recognizing well on behalf of Arizona State
University and the Sun devils go sparky. We really want to thank you for
your era. And
I can only say it's been such a great run. And uh, it was a good, you know
, I would say, you know, and, and one of the greatest things is our
friendship and, and the opportunity to be friends and stay friends and
just to enjoy all of our Sun devil times together. So go devils and thank
you.
