GREAT article on Ms. Staley! God Bless her in all that she
does to give back to the community!
Ms. Foeman wrote an OUTSTANDING article that even a
non-sports lover as myself could enjoy. THANKS Lisa! I'm looking forward to future
articles and future editions of this magazine.
Ms. Prioleau, CONGRATULATIONS on your new magazine. I
feel you've hit on to something that is here to stay!
Sincerely, Betty Banks

I really enjoyed the article on Dawn Staley. I have watched
her since she played at the University of Virginia. It is very refreshing to see an
athlete give back to the community, in particular the children. Ms. Foeman gave another
view of a star athlete that often goes unreported. Thank you for allowing us get a glimpse
of the real person outside the game. William Boatwright Fredericksburg, VA

This article gave me an insight into Dawn Staley
professional life, and her personal life. I felt I was interviewing her myself. The
article was precise and to the point. "Keeping it real," and not hung up on the
writer own opinion. Thumbs up to Dawn Staley commitment, and her accomplishments, and
hurray to the writer who stayed focus on the subject. I'm impressed!

I think the article was well written. I think it really
gave us good insight into the personal side of Dawn Staley and what is important to her
other than basketball. I look forward to more articles in the future.

I enjoyed the article on Ms. Staley. It is always great to
read articles on the Women's Basketball League which often doesn't get as much
notorization as the Men's League. Ms. Foeman covered a lot of areas that interested the
reader. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for your next article.

I really enjoyed reading the article on Ms. Staley. It is
always great to see whats happening with the lady athletes, usually the males get more
notorization. Keep up the great work Ms. Foeman. I look forward to future articles in this
Magazine that I feel will be a success.

Thank you for this insightful article on my favorite woman
basketball player! My family has followed Dawn since her days at U.Va. and even got to see
her play in an ABL game at the University of Richmond. Ms. Foeman wrote an outstanding
article!

The article on Dawn Staley was great. As a former UVa
classmate of Dawn's, I'm glad to see she's still doing well and is giving back at the same
time. Thank for an article that goes beyond a black athlete's ability to play.

I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent article about Dawn
Staley. Although I am an avid sports enthusiast, I generally am only interested in
articles pertaining to the NFL, MLB or the NBA. This article was excellent and Mrs. Foeman
did an outstanding job of stirring my interest in the WNBA and one of the premiere players
in the league. It is refreshing to hear the story of an athlete that feels compelled to
give back to the community. I am looking forward to future articles. Keep up the good work
Lisa!

Dawn Staley has always been an inspirational figure . . .
not just for girls or women, but for all people who wish to achieve great things despite
the odds. When I was in Philadelphia a few years ago, I saw a four or five story portrait
of Dawn Staley on the side of a building on Market Street. Such is a fitting tribute to a
woman who casts such a large (and positive) shadow . . .

Dawn Staley has been my inspiration as both on and off the
court. I can't imagine a better role model for a young girl like myself. Her dedication,
talent, desire, humility, and honesty should be acknowledged more. Thank you so much for
the article, I love to read about her and I was so happy to find this one. It really shed
more light on her personally. Dawn, you are the greatest... keep doing what you do. You
have have so many fans out there that will support you. Much love

This comment isn't just for the article, but for dawn staley too. I just wanted to say
that I love dawn,she's my favorite WNBA player.We met after the game of sting v.s indiana
fever in charlotte.We took a picture,she signed my autogragh, and then before I left I ran
up to her gave her a hug and told her thank you for the autograph.So I would like to say
that I love this article because I love Dawn Staley and this article gives me more
information about her.And I will continue to search for more information about this
wonderful women whom shared extra time than she was supposed to with a 12 year old
girl,me, Autumn Michele(pronounced michelle)Jackson,her biggest fan. ( P.s.) Dawn if you
read this I wanted to let you know that I would love to meet you again.I almost cried when
you hugged me and we took that picture.You can find me sect.127 row.C at any game,I'm in
the front/third row.If you don't remember me,I'm the girl whom her and her sister are
staying in charlotte for 6weeks and have been here for 5weeks and will be there when you
play the New York Liberty aug.24,2003,your last game. Oh, and my dad said I was in love
you.And I ran up to you when you were at the free throws and gave you a hug,at the end of
the game that you played fever (aug.20,2003).It was at the season ticket holders special
thing.If you get this after aug.31 than you can talk to my dad mark jackson, He knows some
of the staff.

That is an excellent articleabout an excellent woman. It's a wonder there are not many
more people in the "spotlight" that could commit themselves as she has done. The
insight you have given on such a quiet, monumental player shows that your talent exceeds
the standards. Good luck on your endeavors and congrats.

This is an awesome article. I work for the Charlotte Sting and Dawn is an awesome person. Her humility and dedication are to be highly esteemed. She has such a passion for womens basketball and its a priviledge to know her.

I have followed dawn staleys career since i first seen her fine self playing for virginia.Isaid to myself,how can a girl so fine have game like that!I was in 9th grade Hoopin my butt off also,I thought maybe if I keep it up I'll even get to meet her one day.Well I did but it aint got nuthin to do with me being a basketball player.One day I was downtown sacramento summer of 1999 I seen her walkin with 3 more wnba girls I dont know who they were because dawn had my attention I couldnt believe my eyes.So I walked up behind her and said "dawn",she didnt hear me but one of the other players did and got her attention and when she looked around I froze up(Iwas way out of my body)so I played it off and asked for an autograph for my sister,I think she kinda knew I was full of it.If you read this Dawn I just wanted to tell you that what you are doing for your old community is positive keep balling and keeping it real!peace
