The Phillies are the World Series Champions!

Philly has been buzzing with the excitement this whole week. It's been so fun to be a part of it all. I joined in with all the honking as I drove home tonight. My dad and I chatted tonight just after the Phillies won the World Series. He said that I was in Philly the last time they won. It was 1980 and I was about 6 months old and my dad was a teaching assistant at Temple. Crazy things happened on Broad Street the night they won. He remembers that his students didn't show up for class for days after the Phillies won the World Series. I don't remember their win in 1980 but I'll sure remember this win 28 years later!

What fun to be part of this big moment - and how cool that you were in Philly in 1980, too. It's fun to celebrate with a great big bunch of people, I bet. Blessings, Susan

What great memories to be a part of the Phillies celebration in 1980! Even better, was "being a part" of this young lady's life born that year in Philly...she is wonderful,intellegent,thoughtful and beautiful!! Love you always, DAD
