THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
Be careful what you wish for... What you see to the right
and below you is a product of that way of thinking. In
explanation, about a month ago I saw Bruce Avery out and
about at one of the local sporting events and he asked, “Are you
by any chance interested in some ‘Upward Basketball’ photos?"
Hmmm, I thought to myself. Pictures of kids. Names of kids ...
“Heck yeah!”
About two week after that, I received a call from a parent: “Are
you going to run them?"
“Yes," I said. “If Bruce sends them over, I most definitely will."
Little did I know there would be a gazillion of them (60-some
thing really)...
Nevertheless, a promise is a promise, so what you see before
you is the first installment of Upward Basketball photos. I don’t
have the space and if I did, you wouldn’t be able to lift the paper
to run them on the same day. So, if your child isn’t in today,
check Tuesday’s paper, or Wednesday’s ... or next summer...
