Letter to the editor: Strength through sports
TO THE EDITOR: I agree with John Draper’s April 11 editorial on women in sports because my mother played varsity basketball for Rock Valley, Iowa high school in the late 1940’s. The experience of taking the bull by the horns to accomplish something is a good trait for learning to stand up for what is right in the world. Any […]
