 Our second inductee is Holly Chatton-Smith. Holly was a member of the field hockey team from 1997 until 2000 and in four seasons totaled 34 goals and 14 assists for 82 points including 14 goals and three assists for 31 points as a senior. Holly wasn't that raw raw cheerleader type of kid but she was a leader by example. You know she was the kid that came early to practice, stayed later, wanted more information on how to perform a skill or to excel at a certain area. She was also the kid that helped the younger students. When she moved on to varsity she helped some of the younger kids with their skills so she was that quiet leader but she really did lead by example. When others were getting frustrated on the field she kept her cool. She was very knowledgeable about the game which helped when she was on the field. I think perhaps hockey was an outlet where there was automatically a sense of community, a lot of instant friends that she made and probably an escape from things that weren't so good to an area where she started to excel and be confident and I think hockey brought that confidence out in her even though she started out at a very low level you could see the confidence start to build in her because she was getting it. She progressed quickly and she got better and better and it showed because she went from a non-starting position five minutes of play in a freshman year and then all of a sudden as a sophomore she's starting and being pulled up to the varsity to compete in regional play where she ousted a starter from varsity to compete in a regional final so her progression was pretty quick so when you ask me if there's one word I can put to Holly's name I would say persistent is that she kind of defied the odds when many others could have quit and stopped she went on she continued on. From the class of 2000 it is my honor to welcome Holly Chatton Smith into the Dick Watts Athletic Hall of Fame. Good evening. So I want to start by saying that they missed something from the last presentation so Tracy can't to be in her whetstone many of you don't know this but she actually recruited me to come to Villa Jolie College so she deserves that credit as well. I feel very blessed to be here tonight. I have many family and friends here with me tonight and this is a once in a lifetime honor for me. This is my second time back at the campus since I graduated in 2001 actually and so it is impressive how much this campus has grown in their athletic program. I'm going to remark on a couple things that Tracy actually said in her presentation. We started with one field out there at Villa Jolie College and we shared that field often times with hockey women's soccer and men's soccer sometimes we had half of the field and sometimes we had one third of the field to practice with. She mentioned as well we had the Econoline vans to travel to our games and so we often would have three of us packed per row and have all of our field hockey and lacrosse equipment packed in there with us and so I look back and I assure you it was the days before the cell phones existed and we actually had to talk to each other in those vans and so there was a lot of interesting conversations that happened in a van with 12 women packed inside there and so Coach Narrow, the late Coach Narrow was the only male in that van and I look back and wonder if he ever looked at women the same after he rode with us for four years in that van. I know you don't realize those moments until you're older but I cherish those memories and there were great times back then. So I received the phone call a couple months ago from Brett Adams actually to let me know that I was being inducted into the Hall of Fame and I was completely blown away by that. The reason I was blown away is the call come came at such an ironic time in my life. So I worked at the emergency department at Franklin Square for 15 years and I decided that I was going to make a career change and try something completely different. I was extremely nervous to be changing careers after 15 years and so on my very last day of my career walking out the door I decided to turn back and I was going to take a picture of the sign on the outside of the door and so that might seem weird to you but the sign meant something to me. It said the Dr. Michael Pipkin emergency department on the sign. Dr. Michael Pipkin was a close friend to me and he was the closest mentor in my life. So Dr. Michael Pipkin passed away before we completed the construction of the emergency department and he never even got to work one day in that emergency department. His spirit is so strong there and so the ironic part of the story is is I turn around with my cell phone to take a picture of the outside of the building right when I go to snap the picture you know your iPhone, the phone rings and it doesn't let me snap the picture. So I think to myself in that moment because it was Brett Adams on the phone that maybe it was my mentor all these years you know that intervened in that moment to say to me don't look back, don't be scared, don't be nervous because there's great things ahead of you. I take the phone call from Brett who happens to be in the airport at the time and says I only have five minutes to talk to you and so I had to keep walking and keep going and I have to wonder if at that particular moment in my life it was just ironic that I turned to take the picture at that time I can honestly say that I've been blessed in my life with many great mentors they've influenced my life they've shaped my character and they've made me the person that I am today to my parents, my siblings and my family who've encouraged me unconditionally loved me you've always been the most positive force in my life and I thank you for that to my coaches Wendy Gallin who you saw in the presentation Coach Rayleigh who's here tonight she was my JV coach in high school as well Coach George, Mr. Clark, Mr. Witz Mary Claire McFadden who's here tonight as well and the late Coach Noreau I hope you realize as a coach how often and frequent that you touch the lives of your players I would have not been the confident driven and determined person that I am today to create that part of my character I am grateful for the lessons that you have taught me in my life and I thank you for that I want to give a special thank you to Coach Wendy Gallin it's been over 20 years since she has coached me and when I called her to tell you that I was inducted being inducted today without hesitation she agreed to come and do that induction speech that only goes to show you the special bond between a coach by the way, Wendy you did an amazing job on your speech and finally, a thanks Brad Adams Fran, Paul Mary Claire McFadden and all the other Stevenson University staff this is a wonderful evening and I thank you for hosting this event this is a memory that I'll never forget thank you
