First met Sliver when we roomed in Birmingham? for auditions. I was already in the room and she came in and said she had had a potato peeler in her purse or luggage and made it through. We laffed and then did the phone game.

The first part of this is about how Judy inspired a project I did on women and girls in sports.

This part of the project is all Judy.

She inspired us all to deploy the White-Hot Glare of Righteousness.

Judy was truly extraordinary. She cheated death on the way to what should have been her WWTBAM appearance! A telephone pole fell on the hood of her car. The WWTBAM people accepted this excuse . . .

She was an excellent administrator for the University of Oklahoma, a superb performer with the Gridiron Club of Oklahoma City, a wonderful host when some of us visited to attend the Gridiron performance, a greyhound rescuer, super smart, a joy to know.

Had the wonderful honor of attending the Gridiron gathering Judy hosted five straight years from 2010-2014. While she never got to ride in it, she does have the distinction of being the only BB to ever be photographed with the Bored renowned LBN, which I clipped for her photo here...




I also got to meet three of her beloved dogs. My "girlfrien" Lizbit....



Bebe, having a tug of war with Lizzie...



And of course, Annie... who through Judy became the Bored's patron saint of four footers....
