■For McDonald, who attended
Laurentian University in Sud
bury, Ontario, f or one year af ter
■aduation from high school,
offers to play college sof tball we-
~ 1 reu’t too numerous. In fact, not
a single school rec ruited McDo-
l ( xlybrsHld until former Aggie coach
Bill Galloway contacted her bv
bleenli liter.
■“Before I left high school, 1
- contacted several schools," she
said. “Oklahoma State said I
- - !' could come and try out, but that
lh< y already had pitchers. When
s Galloway came to A&M, he did a
mar wipe of the infield and out-
- Sclimi field, and brought in about eight
pBw players.
MaithalB’He contacted Softball Oana-
cla (a government organi/ation)
- Kdlyn and 1 was lucky enough to be in
the right place at the right time.
Hi called me and 1 wanted logo
to school in the states and play
e Ball.
■“He said to me: ‘1 want an
athlete who isn't af raid to work
and that is going to give me all
sin:can.’That just built me f rom
toes to head and my reply was
that I wanted to go where that’s
ke - "fat they'll make me do — be
come the best 1 can be.”
ner, hlllflMcDonald. who had a B5-B re-
Jusan JlJoi'd during the Aggies' c ham
pionship season, said the nation
al title resulted from a great deal
■elay - ol work on her part and that of
:h, her teammates.
■“It meant a lot, but at the same
r elay - time, it all goes back to how hard
DouM you work during the year to get
there,” she said. “Keen though
v "t came up short the other two
unis. I years (finishing third in the
1 — A1AW during 1979-80 and
fourth in 1980-81), it was a loss,
but it wasn’t a great loss because
"c knew we'd worked hard.
■'I credit a lot of my success as
a pitcher to the defense. But if I
would have been here and had
nine strikeouts a game and not
p Bl to work for it ... I would say
that I've lost. 1 think that I've
time this'icon because of everything that
■d Tedr I’ve learned about the game.”

■But McDonald puts more

dupin' game.

.rwhali^htive to play with my heart be-

DAVENPORT, Iowa — A
flog named Goldie will be spend
ing her weekdays doing charit
able work with the residents of a
nursing home as a canine ther
apist and going home to her
blaster on weekends.
^■Goldie, believed to he aban-
Spned when she was struck by a
Brsix months ago, was the sub
ject of news stories describing
|er work with the elderly at the
Ridgecrest Retirement Village.
Nursing home officials
praised the dog for lifting the
senior citizens’ spirits and allow
ing them to forget their ail-
bients.
■Goldie’s owner, John Streinz,
•saw the news reports and de-
Tnanded his dog back. He said he
thought the Labrador-Golden
•retriever was dead or had run
away.
■ But after watching Goldie
work with her patients, Streinz
knew he couldn’t take his pet
away from her work.
■From now on, Goldie will be
staving at the nursing home all
week and will go home for the
weekends.
