So two or three years ago I was in a supermarket in Fresno, trying to decide on a bottle of wine.  Standing there, gazing at a baffling selection, I became aware of a young lady standing next to me - maybe early fifties; looked MUCH younger.  Anyway, we struck up a conversation; wine, schools, sports, kids, family.... she was just a delightful person with a really engaging personality.

 

Finally, something clicked, and I asked her out of the blue, "By chance are you an Olympian?"

 

She grinned and said, "Why, yes I am!  Atlanta '96 Gold Medalist ~ women's softball!"

 

Shelly Stokes - catcher, Fresno State '87 - '90; Team USA '94 - '96 and '97 - '98, plus the Olympics.

That's a twofer! You met an Olympic champion,  and she got some public recognition out of the blue. 

 

And, Well Done! to be able to put it together 30 some years later.
