3.  Now, 51 years old, she spends her days advocating for mental health . She's married to a  84 y.o. man, which explains why she spends her time cooking in her kitchen instead of her bedroom.  I hear "Backstabbers" by the O'Jays is her least favorite song.

Monica Seles. She and Steffi Graff were my two favorite women tennis players.

4.   I thought she was such a "Sweetheart." Every girl that I dated back in high school(I mean, every single one), had their hair cut exactly like hers. It was weird but kinda fun, in a freaky sorta way.

5.  He certainly was no "punch and Judy" hitter , but his characterization as the "Great White Hope'  fizzled in the '80's .  " Great White Dope",  you decide. Btw, I have this very same shirt he is wearing here. Just thought you might wanna know. lol

6.  "The 'Tools of Ignorance'  were made for the biggest Tools. "  Was it Plato that said that, or was it just me?

7. I will never, EVER forgive this sucker, not even if I ran into him on a beach in Maui.

Those Monica/Steffi matches were some great tennis. Steffi won 10 of 15 against Monica.  The day Monica was stabbed on the court was the darkest day in tennis for anyone, like me,  who followed tennis at that time. Ironically, the guy who stabbed her was an obsessed fan of Steffi.

8. I wrote him a fan letter back in 1971, and although I don't believe in miracles, I received a picture, in return.
