Today, at 17.30 (local time) the Dutch National Team won the Olympic Qualifier Games Softball 2007. They won from Italy with 3-2 and our daughter Lynn Karijn made the last 0 by catching the ball. She plays second base. I'm so proud of these girls, because they all play softball besides a fulltime job, while in the Italian National team 6 out of 9 were temporary naturalized USA softball players.  HIEP HIEP HURRAY Lynn has had a very bad knee injury, couple of years ago and yesterday she couldn't play because of it. Today she was feeling better and played the finals. This was her last year in the National team and what a super ending of her softball career it will be, playing in the Olympics in Bejing next year. I'm so really, really glad for her. Here's a link to the results http://www.fibs.it/cnc/Tornei/Softball/2007/friuli/RESULT.asp Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Very cool and though American, I'm glad the American ringers in an Italian team got thumped. I mean, shouldn't the Italian team be made up of...oh, I dunno...Italians? Makes me wonder how many Americans will be in Italy's Football (Soccer) teams.  Anyhow. Congrats! And here's to your daughter who made the winning catch.  |

Fantastic!!!! My favorite niece is a softball pitcher at Lehigh University. Maybe 2012 for her... It takes a great family to support a great athlete through the many years of training, perhaps particularly in a sport which is played for the love of it, not the potential of huge economic rewards. Wonderful personal reward for your daughter Lynn's years of effort. A chance to visit China and represent your country! The stuff of dreams come true! Totally impressed and delighted! Best, Jim |

Dutchie, this is a wonderful thing! I know how hard your daughter has worked at this and how proud you are of her. This is a perfect way for her career to finish. I'll be cheering for her and the team  |

I've send the link to this page to Lynn so she could read all your good wishes and here's a message to you from her: To everybody from overseas, thank you very much for your sweet reply's. My knee will just need to hang on for one more year and it will!!!! My mom always forwards her poems and I can tell you that I am proud of her for writing those beautiful poems. When I read them I often think back of her trip to some of you, couple of years ago. How much she enjoyed that meeting. Puts a big smile on my face. Lynn Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

My goodness! Bring out the bubbly! What an achievement! I am thrilled for you all! You are one proud momma ~ and deservedly so! I am going to send some distant healing for Lynn's trick knee. She needs them both to be in fine working order! Congratulatory hugs all around! Linda |
