Andie Hancock has always known why she didn’t have a dad.
It wasn’t because her mom sat her down one day and explained it. There was no exact moment when she learned her dad and nine other members of the men’s basketball program at Oklahoma State were killed in a plane crash.
“It’s something I just always knew,” Hancock said. “At no point in my memory did I not understand it.”
It just was.
“Like knowing my hair was brown,” she said.
Andrea Bailey Hancock was only 72 days old when that plane went down.
