The Induction Celebration Continues

Guru's link log: Greetings to all of you visiting this site. On Friday (July 27), the Philadelphia Inquirer took its turn to celebrate the Guru's induction last month into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville.

Jonathan will, at some point, post the pictures, audio of the speeches, etc. He's also going on two-weeks vacation. But this link to the Induction site at least provides a text of the speech the Guru made after introductions by Sports Editor Jim Jenks, Inquirer Executive Editor Bill Marimow, and owner-publisher Brian Tierney.

-- Mel (who will be on the scene in D.C. Saturday afternoon if he awakens in time).
