EP 271 - Helen Wills

[@ACD1994]

That was a good reading. And how amazing Mrs. Hodges made an appearance. I hadn't been familiar with Helen Wills, so she must be someone who is inspirational to her/to you both. Well done. Enjoy the holidays.

Great story n nice narrative Mrs. Hodges! Love those old wood racquets. Actually my father was an escort officer for the USO for MACV in 1970 as a Major n would tell me once escorted tennis star Gussy Moran. He wasn't on the helicopter that she was on when it was shot down! I still have his original escort patch. Happy New Year!

Pleasure to meet Mrs. Hodges1455, and well done! Cool video, Brian. Very neat story and she was quite the pretty lady at 32 in 1938. She sounds like she was a spitfire!

[@Hodges1455]

Thanks, Ben! I was thrilled she participated in one of my videos. Thanks for watching and listening to the story of Helen Wills. She does sound like a spitfire!

[@blixcards]

@@Hodges1455 My pleasure! I think it's great when RUclipsrs bring in their family to participate. Sometimes our loved ones think our hobbies are blah, but often times a little toe-dip goes a long way! Hobbies are always a notch better with the fam!
