What sports did Laura play?
I am a longtime baseball & football fan and saw you earlier tonite on television. Just wondering if you were related in any way to Jim Britt, a former sports announcer in New England whom l idolized in my youth. He had a daily 15 minute sports roundup program on radio which l listened to regularly and always ended his program with the comment “if you can’t take part in a sport be one anyway.”
I love watching your style. You are a great reporter. I love the way you cover the 49ers. I had a season ticket from 1975-2009. I like your passion.
