Olympic Champ in Rye
Our kids have not gone to Rye Rec camp for years but I still get the emails. Mostly because they are hilarious and occasionally informative.
And then yesterday's email broke a local news story…
We have an Olympic Silver Medalists in our midst:
"So this morning Sara Hess, mother of Tucker Hess in KB, tells me she has a silver medal at home. She tells me she won it while playing for the US women's soccer team. I just found this on Wikipedia–….(her maiden name is Whalen)…
[go read Wikipedia entry here]
How freakin' cool is that!! We have a bonafide superstar walking among us…I got teary eyed watching that World Cup final–okay, I cried a bit–and Mrs. Hess was starring in the game!!! She might be mad at me for sending this, but there was no way I could keep this to myself. What were you doing in the 90s??"
Could not have said any of this better myself…
