I had just moved to Philadelphia after a bad breakup, and I met Leona Thomas...my first Philadelphia friend. She invited me to a William Way event where we got to meet Billie Jean King. That was when I first met Chris Bartlett and was introduced to the Center, and I’ll never forget how welcome I felt.
