Cathy and I shared so many good times and memories that I have been reliving and remembering since I heard the news of her passing. She would often call me with a "plan" that involved me doing something difficult. When tickets for the opening of Tropicana Field came on sale last minute, she convinced me to spend the night on the sidewalk. Of course, she showed up early in the morning to cut the line and get her tickets. True to her word, she bought me a commemorative cigar which I will cherish.
Once again, we scored tickets to opening day at Raymond James Stadium! The Bucs were to play the Chicago Bears and we were making our way up to our nosebleed seats when Cathy noticed an open door and guided me to it. We found ourselves in the Club section and enjoyed the game hobnobbing with Tampa's bigwigs. These things happened to Cathy. Thanks for all the good times, Cathy. I will never forget.
