Great tribute by Chamique! What a poised, bright, beautiful young woman she has become! There are links from that HLN site to countless other tributes to Pat from coaches and columnists all over the country. I invite all LV fans to bask yet again in the glory that is Pat Summit!

Very impressive tribute. Chamique is just as impressive with the words as she is as a basketball player. I wish her the very best in anything that she does.
