I thought I was done playing (after 1976) but
Dave called (in 1982) wanting me to come back
I remember when he became the win-

left (players from the AIAW days were grandfa- dumped the Gatorade cooler filled with
thered in when the NCAA took over womens
ice water all over him right on the Stan

me Grandma and we won two championships. and what he had accomplished!

The school would issue each player a down jacket
for the cold months towards the end of the season. If
youre in Shojis car, you needed to take off your
down jacket and throw it in the trunk before getting
in because Dave was allergic to the down. The
memories of Dave can go on and on, but this is just
one of the many that I treasure most because of the
stories and laughs as well as getting to know Dave
better that we would all share on every car ride.
