Linsanity strikes Edgewood Vista

Linsanity victims
New York Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin has captured the attention of a basketball fan in Alexandria, Minnesota.

Beverly Rolfsrud's daughter, Linda Letnes, reports that Mom followed the action closely when the Knickerbockers beat the Dallas Mavericks Sunday afternoon. The 91-year-old fan snacked on a Subway sandwich and soft drink while cheering for the new kid.

Her basketball-playing son, Steve, says that Mom is no newcomer to NBA action. He writes: "Back in the '60s, Mom  liked to watch the Boston Celtics with John Havlicek, Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, et al, on Sunday afternoons way back when Bob Cousy, Elgin Baylor and Dolph Schayes were also playing. Glad to see that she is still enjoying the sport."
