Every time I turn around it seems he is doing something for somebody else. Steve Nash is a true leader, not of basketball players but of human beings.

I played basketball in school, and then after graduation, I played on a Senior Ladies' team for about 18 years. Perhaps you know Darlene Currie who was a teacher in Vancouver, and was very instrumental in furthering basketball and other sports. She is now retired but is still very active physically and as well is on many Boards re sport. Her motto is "Sport for Life". I played with Darlene in Calgary for many years, and also played on a team of 65+ year old gals in 2005 in the World Masters' Games in Edmonton. Incidentally we won a Gold Medal, and there was a Documentary made about our team: "The Oldest Basketball Team in the World". For 17 years I was a volunteer at our Community and coached Basketbal & Baseball for girls, and also helped my husband, and later my son, coaching boys hockey & lacrosse. I got much enjoyment from those years. I spend 3 months, January, February, & March in Mesa, Arizona, and watch as many Suns' games as I can get on TV, also watch them in Calgary when they are available. Would love to see the Suns go all the way and WIN. PAT VOLK Hi Steve: I am also a Canadian, live in Calgary, and totally agree with your blog on giving back.
