I just got done with a phone interview with longtime Belleville resident Jim Fitch, talking about his granddaughter Hannah and her soccer career. Sometimes, this job is incomparable, and this is one of those times. I learned long ago that I like most to write about things I admire, and this story fairly overflows with things to admire.
It’s got so much - achievement through hard work and practice, focused excellence, the love of a grandfather, the courage to play soccer goalie for over a decade, and, ultimately, recognition. Your family and friends knew it all along, Hannah, but this – THIS – well, congratulations, and we love you.
I’m still writing the story, and I can’t wait to see it published. This is gonna be really cool.
