Happy birthday, LaNae!! (March 27, 2008)

Yes, today is my baby’s 34th birthday! When Don & I got on the road this morning, I called her to wish her a Happy Birthday. She was outside her classroom waiting to go in… wondering if I had forgotten her birthday. Not a chance! She’s doing well in her classes; made and “A” on her last exam. That’s my girl.

Her elbow surgery is scheduled for April 10th… day surgery. Prayers are appreciated. She will be in a cast 6 – 8 weeks and then therapy.

In honor of her birthday, I did a web search and found a few items of interest to us:

LaNae is still listed on The World’s Tallest Women web site at 6’5”. She’s actually 6’4” but this statistic was taken from the OU media guide where she was measured with her shoes on.

She’s still the tallest player in the history of the University of Oklahoma.

She finally relinquished her blocked shots record (243 career) at the University of Oklahoma to All-American Courtney Paris. LaNae is thrilled that the record now goes to someone as talented as Courtney. Congratulations Courtney!

LaNae’s record was set while OU was a member of the Big Eight Conference… that record will never be broken because the Big Eight is now the Big Twelve. :-)

Found Nae on the 1,000 Point Club page.
