10. DYNAMIC ENERGY – The Dynamic Energy of Babe Didrikson
After the Olympics, Babe returned home to a hero’s welcome. Ten- thousand cheering fans met her at the airport and tens of thousands more lined Dallas streets for a parade in her honor. The day ended at a luncheon where five hundred of the city’s finest paid their respects to the “Wonder Girl.” It was here she told a reporter what she was planning to do next, “I gotta practice my golf — no time for vacation. You see, I’m planning on winning the women’s championship.”
