John Phillip Robben and Margaret Catherine Burger Robben have been listening to Boston College Hockey via the Internet for the past year. WHY? because their Daughter's Son's are playing. Two of their 13 Grandchildren are on National Television in the Collegiate Hockey Championship in Detroit Michigan...
Tommy and Cameron Atkinson have been playing Hockey since they were little kids. Tonight they are on ESPN, Channel 35. Two Aunts, Three Uncles a Nephew and 2 Grandparents watch the game on Shore Road. Red and Gold ribbons hang from the 2nd floor, Balloons emboss the names of the nephews...it's an Hockey Party
Embossed balloons of the names of BC Hockey Player Grandchilden: Thomas and Cameron just inside the doorway of their Robben Grandparents. The Balloon Vendor?

Cam is 5'7". The BC (BC: Boston College) team is generally slight in height. ...tall people are 'generally' less coordinated (minus Michael Jordan) I went to PC. In 1982 someone said to me that she goes to BC, I thought she said PC (PC now means Personal Computer) but then it was a slight 'listening' difference. PC or BC ...I had no idea that Boston and Providence had similar sounding 'double letter' school initials going on. (an actual freshmen mistake) I thought that BC might be more important than PC. BC...PC little difference.
