When my grandmother Gertrude passed in the summer of 2013 at the age of 103 (and a half!) years old, she did so with very few regrets. Except one. My grandmother - a Milwaukee resident since the end of World War II - never did get to see her beloved NBA team, the Bucks*, win a second NBA Championship. Something that just might happen this June, and for the first time since 1971.
With a grandmother, mother, aunt and uncle from Milwaukee, despite growing up in Denver I spent my Christmas breaks in Milwaukee and got to attend many Bucks games throughout the 1980s.
