Message: [QUOTE="Kurebeach50, post: 4205755, member: 10875"] I remember reading that article in the Courant. When visiting Knoxville a while later I purchased an orange “Tennessee” T-shirt and walked around the corner to Thompson-Bolling arena to the Womens Basketball Office to see if Pat would sign it. Unfortunately the team was in Europe at the time (it was July/Aug.) but I was told Pat would be more than happy to do it when they returned. When asked for my address to be sent to me, I quickly told that story about how great the Lady Vol players were to Svet, for fear they would throw me out of the office, being from Connecticut and all. Well they were gratified to hear it and refused to let me pay for the shipping on top of all that. A few weeks later the shirt arrived, signed by Pat with a shout out to my wife, as I requested. Until she went downhill due to the progression of her disease, Pat belonged at the top of the aforementioned “classy” list. [/QUOTE]
