Hello everyone, hope you all are having a great day. There are many families touched by the heart breaking disease of Alzheimer's. As most of you know, I am a native Tennessean and when living there I kept up with most of the University Of Tennessee sports and that included women's basketball. The coach of this great team was Pat Head Summit, also a native Tennessean but she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year and came out and made it very public. Pat has gotten lots of support from not only her fans but many others too. Well yesterday she announced she is stepping down as head coach and thus ends a glorious era. In her 38 years as head coach there was never a hint of scandal at anytime, just the opposite. Pat is the all time winningest coach in either men or women's basketball and she is going to be missed.
