“ My family was between homes and living in a Holiday Inn in Kingston, N.Y., in 1973, when we heard the Globetrotters would be staying there too. Being a seven-year-old then, I was very excited. My parents warned me that the players would probably be tired and not to bother them. Ha! I made posters and went to meet the bus when it pulled up. They brought me onboard and gave me tickets to their game, and at the game they pulled me out of the stands to be their ball boy. They gave me a memory to last a lifetime. ”
