Team Photo 1996 |
|
Someone
once asked me when the
Huber Heights Special
Olympics Team got
started. I thought
about it and realized I
didn’t know. You see
when my family joined the
team, (Yes! It is a
family thing, not just a
child thing), someone had
already started a team.
Her name
is Kathy Kleiser and the
year was 1996. The team
as you can see, was small
in the beginning.
Kathy had been doing
Special Olympics a few
years when we joined in.
If I remember correctly,
the other coaches
were the same ones as
today, Joan Bostlmen and
Vicki Rhea. I remember
she asked me to be a
coach because having
boys on the team and only
women as coaches would
not work. I was a bit
nervous at first, but I
quickly found that I
loved it and now many
years later, I still love
helping these guys!
If you would like me to
continue this story, please let
me know.
