No, that isn't a typo in the title.
Laura Angell had been the youth minister for Asbury Memorial Church for years and when she died from cancer a few years ago, the youths became Laura's Angells.
Nice, right?
This year, the group has decorated the Angell Tree in Holliday Hall with paper ornaments bearing the names of gifts needed to help P.A.C.K. Savannah.
That group - People of Action Caring for Kids - had requested a range of items for their clients, running the gamut from sports items to dolls to warm coats in various sizes.
I don't usually participate in this drive, but I chose to be part of it this year.
The item I ultimately settled upon was "basketball", which was written on multiple ornaments on the tree.
My choice of which to buy was based on my belief that the toy was meant for a girl.
Here's hoping she will become as famous in that sport as the player - Caitlin Clark - whose name is emblazoned on the ball.
