Other children's Dads spent weekdays in offices or on the Princeton campus or in various places where Dads went, Caydance remembered. But her Dad, spent his days going to football games, baseball games, hockey games, and basketball games. Watching tennis matches at Longwood, talking to coaches on the sidelines of High School practice sessions, visiting ski areas started by old friends from the US Army 10th Mountain Division, and going fishing with players, whose names were headlined in the Sports Sections of national newspapers.

These events, she recollected his telling her mother with some frequency, were his job.
