I discovered Letta when I was browsing on Bellaonline.com one day. In case you're not familiar with Bellaonline, it's an online community for women. It covers just about every topic under the sun. Each area of interest has an editor who writes stories pertaining to that topic. I happened to be looking at the golf section, trying to find the editor so I can send a press release about the SporteeGal golf journal. That editor was Letta.
Letta is a passionate golfer. She LOVES the game. So much in fact, that she plays three to four times a week. She also schedules tee times a month in advance and sends the times to 22 friends who can pick and choose when they want to play (If I lived in Texas I would have to get myself on that list!). At night, she writes about golf for Bellaonline.com.
She has had SEVEN holes in one (unbelievable!) and has written four books - one about spices, one cookbook, a book on sayings and proverbs and a book on her family's sporting experiences. I'm trying to figure out when Letta sleeps! She appears to have the energy and passion of a teenager.
Letta is 83 years old.
Oh yes, and a few other things. Letta is involved with activities in her church, where she publishes their bulletins and organizes a women's study group. She is involved in a community chorus where she was president last year. She is also the Secretary to the Friends of the public library. Almost forgot, she also does the Newsletter for the Mill Creek Community Association and is on their board.
A quote from Letta, "Sometimes I meet myself coming and going but really have a full life and love it."
Letta's husband passed away in 2003. She has five children, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She lives on a golf course (where else would this SporteeGal live??) in Texas.
Cheers to Letta! Thanks for being a SporteeGal and an inspiration to others!
