Free at Last
In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to myself and to my children. We were in constant danger from bombs and bullets. This was nothing new.
Every day, on the radio, we listened to a horror story of suffering. Our personal horror came one night when we were awakened by two gunmen. One stood at... >Read More

Life out of Death
It seems like yesterday I woke up to find my husband slumped over the dining room table. I tried to wake him but his hand was cold. As I read the letter on the table, I couldn't believe it. Though he said he loved me, my husband had committed suicide by drug overdose. I was in shock for the... >Read More

Winning Isn't Enough
My disappointment was intense as I watched my shot disappear into the bunker on the last hole, and with it, my chances of winning the 1994 Masters. But that was only the beginning of my disappointments. For the next two years I failed to win the U.S. Open, finishing in second place each time. I was struggling with self-doubt,... >Read More

Remembering September 11th
On September 11, 2001 I said my first prayer. My son was a police officer with the New York Police Department. As I sat watching the Twin Towers burn, at first I thought that he was fine since he worked a desk job at One Police Plaza. But what if he went over to help?
“Please God,” I said, “if... >Read More

Finding True Love
As an Officer Cadet, it was not difficult to get dates. The uniform and the invitations to military balls ensured a steady supply of girls who were willing to date me. Kingston also had a hospital with a resident nurse’s training program and a civilian university, so there were always girls living away from home and seeking companionship.

The Man Behind the Weapon
A giant of a man weighing over 300 pounds, Carl Swaboda of Vienna is reputed to be the only man in athletic history that has raised aloft more than 400 pounds. But you might wonder if other less publicly known men somewhere else in the world could actually lift more.
Throughout history the strongest men of the land were often... >Read More

The Moon Is Not Enough
I volunteered for the space program for the thrill of adventure. Believe me, waiting for take-off while sitting on top of a Saturn rocket that’s 120 meters tall and weighs six-and-a-half million pounds—that’s excitement! I knew I was in for one great ride!
But what can top 11 days in space and 3 days trekking around the moon? I was... >Read More
