At the age of 94, Norma Colborn stands alongside the members of her former softball team, a group she once coached with dedication.
"I can hardly recognize some of them; they have aged, and so have I," she remarked with a chuckle.
Observing the accomplished individuals they've grown into fills her heart with joy,
"... These little girls, growing up. They all had families of their own. I have a family of my own," she said with a smile.
The reunion took place at the Berry Barn. Over lunch, they exchanged photographs and rekindled cherished memories from an era when they paved the way for women in sports – acting as pioneers of their time.
Reflecting on the past, it's evident that the softball fields in the small town of Delisle, Saskatchewan played a pivotal role in their journey during the 1960s.
