| An English major, teacher and former radio sportstalkshow host, Steve Heldt thinks he s well qualified to havewritten THE BATHROOM BASKETBALL BOOK.He is, but there s much more to his background that lendsitself to this sort of thing. And for that, I went directly tothe source. Enter Clara Heldt, Steve s morn-- and a nicerwoman you won t meet. Mrs. Heldt says the author waspotty-trained between the ages of two and three. In fact, tothis day there is a crease on the family toilet seat fromwhere little Stevie s potty-seat was fastened. (Steve, that little duck s head on the front of the seat was a real curie pie from what your mother tells me.) As soon as Steve was able to read, he was reading in the bathroom ... the sports pages, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, SPORT. You name it, Steve read it. And, Mrs. Heldt claims, "Stevie always read with his little baseball cap on." Little Stevie got bigger, but not big enough. A good athlete, he Just wasn t tall enough to play basketball according to his morn. But read about it, he did. Like Jordan to the air and Magic to the hoop, it was Steve to the hopper. And so goes the evolution of the man and his book. Meanwhile, Mrs. Heldt had a favorite bathroom pastime of her own. Though she doesn t do it any more because her eyesight s not what it used to be, she thinks it might make for a good book subject. It would be appropriately called THE BATHROOM CROCHET BOOK. |
