Cheerleader Catherine Pemberton Sportswoman for Mark Warner

George:

Here's my picture.

I hope its OK that I copied your [Mark Warner] poster and put my picture over it. It was taken a couple of years ago, when Benedictine High School participated in a local "dream games" tournament, where men who played basketball in Richmond in the '60's had the chance to even old scores.

Naturally, they needed the support of their cheerleaders to encourage them to do their best. It was a fun experience and reminded me that the lessons learned on the playing field spill over into other arenas.

Like my mom says, "once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader" so I am cheering Mark Warner on to a strong victory next fall.

Catherine Pemberton (electronic mail, July 6, 2001).

Editor's Note: Catherine Pemberton went to high school at Saint Gertrude, down the street from Benedictine High School, the alumi mater of Blake Caravati.
