Well, one thing on my bucket list was to attend a Final Four. And I got to do that!!! Went to Arlington, TX when the final four was UK, Wisconsin, UConn and Florida. It was fantastic!!!! It's also where I learned to HATE UConn fan base!! They were the worst!! Out of about 100 people I saw get arrested 90% were UConn fans. Florida wasn't far behind. We played Wisconsin the first game, and our seats were smack dab in the middle of Wisconsin fans. They were great!!! Even though we beat them in the first game, almost all of the people we met came back to support UK for the championship game. NOBODY was cheering for UConn and the Florida fans all left! That was the year we had the twins from Texas on our team, so we had UK fans (and they travel WELL), Wisconsin fans and a TON of Texas fans that were all pulling for UK. I will never forget that trip!!
I also got to meet a man who was on Dealey Plaza the day President Kennedy was shot. The girls that I was with had to physically pull me away from that man, and my grand daughter paid him because I took up so much of his time. He was amazing to speak with, and had some wonderful stories. I was hanging on every word. He told me that he saw a muzzle flash come from behind the fence on the grassy knoll. He told a police officer but they didn't pay any attention to him because he was just a kid. He also had some theories on the reason why Kennedy was shot. I would still be there talking to him if my girls hadn't made me leave.
