Happy Birthday Cousin Christine

Let me tell you about my only girl cousin, Christine, who turns 20 years old today. She is a sophomore this year at California State University Sacramento where her major is Business Administration. Daddy says she is the only family member who has ever received a full athletic college scholarship. Her sport is woman’s rowing, sometimes referred to as crew. It is among the oldest Olympic sports, and pits rower-propelled boats in races on rivers, lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the race type and the discipline. She crewed in high school and initially attended Murray State University near us in Kentucky to be on their rowing team, but the school dropped the sport last year so she transferred to Sacramento. Hopefully, she’ll show me and Benji how to crew when we get older.
