Dear Coniglio Family:

         I am so humbled by this wonderful honor that words escape me.  Angela's contribution to women's sports and more importantly to everyone she touched is beyond inspiring.  As I read her life story I just could not believe the similarities between us! 
         How could anyone know that I too had my own unique way of pronouncing words; grasshopper has never been pronounced the same after I renamed them "assgroppers".  One of my first songs, Home on the Range, became "where the deer and the ants go to play"; forget the antelopes!  Your memories of her childhood are so vivid that it brought all of my wonderful memories back, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this.
          I am always so impressed when I read of women athletes who have made such an impact before Title IX.  I have reaped the benefits of Angela, who has allowed me to pursue my love of sports.  I am a little nervous and yet very excited to attend St. Bonaventure next year and play lacrosse.  My parents have warned me that a Division I school will be challenging, but I can't wait to get started with my new and exciting life of college, lacrosse, and most importantly teaching and coaching.  My lacrosse coach, Mrs. Battaglia has always told us that we must give back to the sport that has given us so much, and I can only hope to give back half as much as Angela.
          Again, thank you so much for this tremendous honor!  When I begin school next year at St. Bonaventure, I will think of Angela and try to be true to her spirit and legacy. 

Sincerely Yours,
Daisy Timlin

P.S.  I wanted you to know that when I received this award, my mom was telling a good friend about Angela.  Little did she know that her friend Mary Sinclair  McGuire not only lived across the street from you, but also used to baby-sit Angela and Angelo.  She remembered your family with great fondness and wishes you the best.
