For church training back in the 70s, one teacher I had was Nona Solomon. One Sunday we had to bring a treat to class. I wanted to make Rice Krispy Treats. Of course, our parents had to really do most of the work! There was a vote to see whose treat was the best, and I won. Well, my mother and I won!

"Big Game James" Worthy
James Worthy was an incredible addition to the Lakers in the 1980s. He was huge part of Showtime and was unbelievable on the fast break. But he had a really amazing all-around game. I recall one time as a kid dropping by the bank to see my dad. My uncle, who was working there, came out of his office and said, "James Worthy might be the best one-on-one player in the game." It was likely summertime and the NBA playoffs were in full swing. He knew I was a big Lakers fan!
These days, I enjoy hearing Worthy sharing old stories. Besides having a great voice, he is quite funny!

The Club, Inc.
Opened on June 12, 1951
Birmingham, Alabama
I went to The Club to hear a speech given by a Fox News political analyst who was popular in the 90s. Several people from AmSouth Bank, where I was working at the time, told me about it and I accompanied them there.

Clear Skies
Towards the very end of my walk, I had a very nice chat with a lady named Susan. She mentioned this flyer. We also talked about the gorgeous weather we've been having.
