I wanted to reach out as I am re-reading "My Losing Season" again after reading it over 10 years ago. The descriptions Mr. Conroy writes about the beauty and sorrows of basketball truly hit home as does his love of the game. Clearly, basketball is a great metaphor of his life... I wished I could thank him personally for his book that has touched me and brought back many thoughts and feelings from my own life.

Christopher, I wish I could tell people how many times I think the same as in your thought: "I wished I could thank him personally..." In a way I've been thinking more and more that perhaps in one day -no, no day, it won't exist in that time and place- but in a sliver of time I will see him again... and perhaps others...
