    Good hearing from you again. Congratulations to you and the DePaul softball team on their fall season. Glad to hear you are enjoying a normal life and both you and Tucker are doing well. You'll get the condo decorated eventually. Good Luck on your test next week. I'm sure you'll do fine. I hope you enjoy your upcoming travel adventures but be careful and don't over do it. I'm only saying that because I care about you.

    good luck, and stay safe with your travels. there's some great talent out there; g'luck bringin' 'em your way... not that you'll need it. How cool would that introduction be!?! "Miss ____, this is Miss Osterman, widely regarded as the finest pitcher in the world. She'll be coaching at DePaul. You're pretty good; I've seen ya throw. How'd you like to learn from Cat, wear blue, and become a truely DEMONic pitcher." WOW! you're my hero! ...got a pen? where do I sign?

    Hi, Cat. I hope your day this fall has been a particularly good one! (Fall is my favorite time of year. Yours? Have you ever been to Vermont this time of year?)
    I guess Depaul doesn't have a football team. I attend grad school at UNT, and they don't either! I'm sure you've been following the Longhorns. They're playing well and took it to the Buffs last night, but next week's Red River game could be tough.
    I lived in Lubbock up until 2 years ago and like the way Leach does it at Tech. I can't believe they're #7 now, not far behind UT!
    Do you like college football? Do you like the Dallas Cowboys? I'm not one of those who likes the same team regardless. If I like the players (or a player), then I like the team. I really liked the Longhorns softball team when you were there, Cat. Now I'm in love with Depaul's team...
    So, is Tucker a democrat or republican? ! I'm thinking he's an independent! Anyway, he's sure a lucky dog to have you.
    Sincerely,
    Curtis

    Hi Cat! I am a 12 year old fast pitch softball player and my favorite color is purple too! I play travel 14U fast pitch -usually 1st base. I was really excited to see that you have softball gloves that are black and purple. I am really tall 5'7" and they expect me to be 6'3" because I have been growing four inches a year. I would like to get your glove in a 12.5 or 13 for next season, but the biggest I can find it is 12. Do you make it bigger than 12? If not, maybe you could suggest they start making them bigger than 12. Thanks for your help and good luck in school.

    Cat,
    I am writing in hopes that you would help make my brother-in-law smile. He has recently been diagnosed with a very agressive form of prostate cancer, he is only 45. The father of three boys, the youngest being only 6 years old. He is a HUGE fan of yours. He and my sister Dawn went to Oklahoma City last summer to watch you and the rest of the USA Team. He never missed a game when you and rest of the team were in Beijing. It would be wonderful if you could post a message on his blog (marksprayerteam.blogstop.com). He goes in tomorrow to for scans to see if his cancer has spread. We will know more on Wednesday when he meets with his doctor to go over the results. Please send him an encouraging word. Thank you so much!!

    Hello,
    My daughter is called "Little Cat" by her softball team....they say she looks like you and she is a lefty. One question for you..during the South Florida Fastpitch Camp in Tampa, will you be an actual one on one coach with the participants? I want to give this to my daughter for her b-day and want to sign her up for whatever session you will be apart of.

    Thanks!

    Hi Cat!
    I am a 14 year old fast pitch softball player in NJ. I play travel 14U fast pitch as a pitcher. I am always told that I have no natural ability, but I have all the drive in the world. I am good for now, but I feel I have problems with getting better. Do you have any tips on getting speed and keeping with it everyday? How do you keep the drive to pitch and keep playing? Good luck with school!!! and thanks!

    Cat I printed out the two poems both the one where I spell out your name and the one that spells out USA Softball and mailed them to the PO Box last Wednesday I think. I hope you enjoy them. I wrote both of them so easily. They just came to my mind one day while I was looking at your mom's Olympic pictures. I hope you're enjoying your time in New York . Hope to hear from you soon

  • MaristRedFox · 1 year ago
    Cat,

    Hope you are enjoying (or have enjoyed) your stay in New York. Hope, too, you brought your appetite because we, up here in the NY/NJ/CT area, eat our pizza, pasta and Mediterrean desserts every day ... and twice on Sundays!

    Also wishing you a successful weekend with your Edison, NJ, trip in early November...cheers.

    Hey Cat. I bet your new puppy keeps you on your feet. We also adopted a puppy 3 weeks ago but he is now 10 weeks old. We got a yellow lab named, Freddie. He is the cutest little thing ever but chewing on everything too. Hope all goes well with yours, and I am sure he will make many happy memories with and for you!
