Last night Janine, John and I went to see one of our neighbors play in a key volleyball match at our local high school. Here's Kyle just about to score a kill. (That's my bald head in the stands just above Kyle's head.)
As you can see he is one of the tallest guys on the team. This is his senior year, so it is the last time he and his parents will be going to the away matches and tournaments. Hence it is a happy time tinged with some sentiment.
True to form, he is on a full Division I athletic scholarship in the fall. His father was a world-class runner in the 1970s, so the traditions (and genetics) are strong.
The difference between then and now is that Kyle's aunt in Australia can listen to the games live and cheer him on via text messages to his parents!
