Have a ball, Julie! After all, it's your birthday...

Detroit, circa 1948

Young Julie practices her dribbling (note spittle coursing down
 her chin onto her soggy shirtfront), as she practices her, well, dribbling
 in this vintage scene.
 
All these years later, she can still dribble with the best of them --
which is why she is never without her hanky. 

All the Best on Your Big Day, Julie!

  1. As I recall (although I wasn't yet born at the time), Julie was the youngest person EVER to be able to "palm" a basketball. Amazing stuff, given that she wasn't even toilet-trained yet....
