So when Dan and I struggled to find a birthday gift for my dad, I came across my Alumni E-newsletter... and there it was... the 4th Annual Jim Calhoun Celebrity Classic Charity All-Star game... what a mouth full. The event held on Saturday August 9...
Due to my dad's bum knee, Dan dropped us off at the Sun hotel lobbey while he parked the car (great son in law)... and then it began... I became star struck!! As we sat and waited for Dan, we spotted Josh Boone and Rudy Gay... then Jim Calhoun and Rashad Anderson... and my favorite (as seen above) Emeka Okafur!!! It was GREAT...It was reliving the hay days of the UCONN dynasty. You name it, he was probably there.... Chris Smith, Tate George and Scotty Burrell.... Dan Cyrulik, Kevin Olli and Donyell Marshall.... Ray Allen, Ben Gorden and Rudy Gay.... and too many others to name...
I posted photos of our day.... there was an autograph session on the court after the game.... and I got them all... well the important ones.... Emeka, Ray Allen, Caron Butler.... etc etc...
Next year we'll be taking Evan because he LOVES basketball to an obsession....
