Dave,

Your email was so thoughtful!  It really meant so much for us to read it.  I was so upset when I picked up Maisy.  She was really shy and I think embarrassed.  I love Patrice's sense of justice and her defense of Maisy.  She is really a great great kid.  I'm looking forward to them playing together in college.

Love to all of you!!

Hi Kathleen,
 
Thought you and perhaps Maisy would like to hear what Patrice told us tonight.  She said that she was ready to scream as soon as Mailsy won one of the basketball awards.  Patrice  felt like as the heart and soul of the team and the one who regularly gave about 150% effort  to inspire everyone else that Maisy deserved people to be screaming for her for all she did..
 
Then, she realized Maisy had not won an award.  Casting no aspersions, Patrice simply said, "How do you not give Mailsy one of the awards.  She probably should have gotten both of the awards.  I'm not sure if we would have won a single game if she wasn't there."
 
Val and I spent some of the rest of dinner trying to come up with some contorted reasons to explain why they gave the awards the way they did.  I do imagine that Maisy has won so many of those athletic awards that maybe it doesn't mean much to her.  And, just maybe they decided to give someone else a chance.
 
At the same time, the McGloin family award went to Maisy! It was a lot of fun to watch her regain that extra gear and extra intensity that has set her apart for so long.
 
Hope you are doing well.
 
Dave
