- With Finemistress Millie Palmer opening the New Year, there was lots of happiness: Mark Poulos reported that the recipient of his “Paint it Forward” initiative had been selected; Neil Scheufler celebrated the holidays with his son who was home from Berlin, and prepared for his upcoming summer wedding; Patti Lock was excited to be hosting the entire Chicago Sky marketing team; Mark Tauber was proud of his granddaughter who captured 1st place in the mile in her age group at the Santa Run, and was featured in the Daily Herald; and Bob Paddock was happy to be alive….not his exact words.
- In honor of our speaker from the Chicago Sky, Ms. Palmer focused on basketball trivia. We learned: at its inception each team fielded 9 players on the floor at a time, there are 122 “nubs” on a basketball, basketball was first played by men in 1891, and by women in 1893, and that quarters in women’s games are 10 minutes long. Who knew?......Not many of us.
