Comments on: My second mom http://sportschump.net/2010/02/01/my-second-mom/2872/ An interactive, analytical and hopefully entertaining look at the world of sports and all things otherwise Mon, 21 May 2012 18:02:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Natalie Digiesi Bash http://sportschump.net/2010/02/01/my-second-mom/2872/comment-page-1/#comment-6661 Natalie Digiesi Bash Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:53:18 +0000 http://sportschump.net/?p=2872#comment-6661 I knew Natalie from Hillside. As you can see I myself am a Natalie and we both dated the same boy, at the same time, his name was Larry Rotgun and they married. I am so touched by your kind words and sincere love of a special person... as I read I could see her smile and those great dimples, even hear her voice after all these years (more then I care to mention). May she rest with peace and rememberance of all you stated here on this page with such sincerely and heartfelt love. Natalie Digiesi Bash I knew Natalie from Hillside.

I can't believe I never knew about any of this... you never once mentioned it Freshman year and I have a very good memory of that time. Adam Chris,

Very nicely written.

I can’t believe I never knew about any of this… you never once mentioned it Freshman year and I have a very good memory of that time.

By any chance, have you happened to catch any Kevin Durant highlights? I do think we have an NBA superstar on the rise. Angel… thanks for your thoughts.

Names like Venus Williams, Peyton Manning, Derek Jeter and Albert Pujols came up but the most popular answer was that athletes SHOULDN'T be role models. With kids still looking up to athletes like we did as kids, I imagine it's tough for kids not to idolize their heroes. But as much as I admired my favorites athletes growing up, I'm not sure I ever looked to them to set examples. I had plenty of adults surrounding me to show what, and what not, to do.
