Posted - Aug 25 2017 : 5:37:55 PM A friend of mine's neighbor is turning 96 on September 25. she has no family, and lives alone. We thought it would be nice to shower her with cards for her birthday - maybe 96 cards for her 96th birthday. Her name is Frances "Babe" Sweeney. She was a star baseball player when she was younger. Here are two articles (in 2 pieces each). In the second picture Babe is the one in the white blouse.

Note: She was called Baby because she was the youngest in the family. In one of these articles it says Baby Sweeney. She got tired of being called Baby so she changed it to Babe, which has stuck even now. Her baseball career kept her from ever marrying, which my friend says Babe now regrets; she enjoyed playing baseball and her fiance didn't want her to continue.
If you are interested in sending a card, please PM me and I will send her Name/address/C-S-Z. She will be SO surprised. We will try to send so they arrive as close to the 25th as possible. Thank you.

Posted - Sep 27 2017 : 3:31:26 PM Yes, she did. As of Monday afternoon (her actual birthday) she had received 66 cards - 27 of them were received ON her birthday. I'm sure she also got some cards yesterday or today, too. Thank you all for participating. She was surprised so many people who did not know her were sending her cards. She enjoyed all of them.
