[Elaine "Lady Blue"]

Yes I'm damn old, and proud of it. I started playing organized softball in 1960!!! I thought it was really stupid after playing baseball in my neighborhood with the boys! I played off and on until 1985 when a. I got hurt and b. found out I was pregant with twins! Started umpiring in 1986 at the age of 36. Have called 5 Nationals, slow and fast, and went into semi retirement at the age of 51. If I can start umpiring as late as I did and move on to some Nationals, then you young whipersnappers can do even better!
Oh, on a personal note, I have 4 children, 31 (girl) 22 (girl) 16 (boy and girl twins), 1 grandson 10.
I'll love softball forever! In about 20 years, you'll see me in my Hover round chair motoring down the sidewalk to the field to see more grandchildren and greatgrandchildren play.
Back to the ASA, I bleed blue blood. I wouldn't dream of calling ISA, NSA, USSSA. Course I did call high school NFHS, but even they wear BLUE shirts.
Love y'all!! My .04 :>)
