People often ask, “How was it to be the youngest and only girl in the Swan family?” Answer: I loved it! How could a girl not love being, as my Mom would put it, “The rose among the thorns”? Having five handsome brothers was so much fun. I grew up loving sports and always having cute boys around! The best thing about growing up a Swan was the crazy times we had as children. My most memorable experience was when my parents went on a date and left George, Dave, Phil, Paul and myself home on a cold winter night. We thought it would be fun to run around the block in bare feet, I was about 5 years old. My brothers obviously were a lot faster than me, luckily my brother Paul came looking for me after I was a “No show” for 10 minutes or so (seemed like 10 hours), my feet were frozen but I did make it home with the help of Paul! The stories go on and on, it seems that the stories get better with time! Growing up a Swan was quite the adventure!
