*** begin quote ***

NEW YORK — Former Illinois coach — and women’s basketball pioneer — Theresa Grentz has been selected as a 2013 recipient of the Lapchick Character Award.

*** end quote ***

We were season ticket holders in the old college avenue gym.

Before RU women were big time. 

Frau Reinke would pick me up at the train station so we could make the games on time.

I asked her once why it was so important to her.

“I know I could have done that if we weren’t so poor. Those girls have no idea how lucky they are.”

Makes me sad to think about it now.

Glad that Grentz is honored.

I know she has one fan in high places pulling for her.

Monday, August 19, 2013

Dear F John,

We’re writing to let you know what we are shutting down the 1000memories.com website.

Archived versions of your memory pages will remain up indefinitely at the following links:

– Evlynn Mahoney Reinke – http://archive.1000memories.com/people/4744-evlynn-mahoney-reinke/memories

We have also created two ways for you to export your photos that can be used until September 15, 2013:

– Export to Ancestry by visiting 1000memories.com/export.

We regret that this decision will adversely affect many people, but we are excited to continue serving many of you at Ancestry.com. Since being acquired last fall, we’ve launched a beautiful way to tell your ancestors’ life stories as well as a new and improved version of our Shoebox mobile app. We will now be working toward a new photo-sharing experience on Ancestry.com.

We can’t thank you enough for your support and input over the last several years. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at contact@1000memories.com.

Sincerely,
