Basketball Hoop

It was a sad day last summer when a bulldozer came and knocked down the basketball hoop that stood in the St. Katharine Drexel parish center parking lot. That hoop had seen many games and was a prominent part of the property. The hoop was knocked down to make room for a parking lot for Boston Police Officers, which is a worthy cause indeed, but it's absence still left a void in outdoor playtime at the camp. The police were kind enough to donate a basketball hoop to the Sr. Mary Hart Children's Programs and today (after 3 hours) Lloyd and I put it together.  The hoop, which created a great deal of interest as we were putting it together, was a hit as soon as the campers came outside in the afternoon.
