A baby Gamecock is born!

From the moment Katherine toured the USC Columbia campus, she knew she was destined to be a Gamecock.  Was it the Strom Thurmond Fitness Center?  Was it the spacious dorms?  Was it the twenty seven on campus dining options?  Was it the cute guys jogging across campus in their shorts?  Maybe it was a little bit of all of the above.   Anyway, she applied.  And she waited.  Acceptances and scholarship money poured in from other colleges anxious to woo her, but she held fast.  She waited.

One December day, her friend Nicole from down the street went to get the mail.  When she saw her acceptance envelope, she raced down to our house to alert us.  Katherine and I flew to the mailbox.  Yeah, I totally beat her.  I'm fast like that.

And there it was - the long-awaited envelope!  Yes!

And that's how Gamecocks are born.
