Thank you and what a nice gesture. My daughter Annie King was Lakiba Nicolle Palmer's Running coach at San Diego High School her senior year. Likiba came from a very poor family but told my daughter that the most important thing in her life was to get out of the ghetto and join the Navy. Annie would pick her up for Track Meets....take her to a Doctor for Physical's required by the team.....and really encouraged her to make that dream come true. Once at a large Meet, and about only about 45 mintutes before Lakiba's heat, she told Annie she'd forgotten to bring her Sports Bra. She got a trolley, went home, got it....and managed to make it just in time. I knew Lakiba too. We are all very sad. xxxxxxoo Louise King in La Jolla CA In a message dated 10/14/00 19:46:31, RLTJPS@aol.com writes: >Lakiba Nicole Palmer, San Diego, Calif
