10/19/11 Residents at the Catherine Kasper Home hosted the Ancilla College men’s basketball team to a meet and greet session on October 14. Players introduced themselves, shared where they were from and spent time with the residents getting to know them. Mary Burkett, 104 years young, had some advice to the players, “Play hard, play strong and play fair.” The team responded with a hearty laugh and said they would do their best.
