Note #50

WOW! The Huskers are in the Final Four! The volleyball game my husband and I saw last Friday was undoubtedly the best volleyball game we've ever seen. The talent displayed on the court by both Nebraska and Penn State players was unbelievable. The Huskers lost the first two sets, were down 22-24 in the third, and came back to win the match in the fifth. Our coach, John Cook, stated the crowd was the loudest he's ever heard in Devaney. GO BIG RED!

One of my fellow Husker volleyball fans is celebrating her birthday today. This week's note is written to JoAnne.

Dear JoAnne,

Happy Birthday! Not only are you one of my favorite fellow Husker fans, you're also one of my role models. I've looked up to you ever since we moved here. I admire your friendly personality, your sense of style, and your devotion to personal health. You introduced me to weightlifting, bridge club, women's golf league, and a stint as a piano teacher.

Now that you travel frequently, our paths seem to cross less often. Hopefully, I'll see you on the golf course or at a Husker tailgate again soon!

With gratitude for your friendship,
Jill
