Grandma BurrightNeva Grandma Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57 year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari mutuel harness racing after World War II. During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma Burrights exploits as a harness racing driver.

Neva ÒGrandmaÓ Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57-year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari-mutuel harness racing after World War II.

During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma BurrightÕs exploits as a harness racing driver. In 1943, she became the first woman to win a Grand Circuit race. In doing so, she defeated the legendary Sep Palin, Òthe aristocrat of drivers,Ó who had the financial backing of automobile heiress Frances Dodge Johnson. During that Grand Circuit race in Delaware, Ohio, Grandma Burright and Luckyette, her bay gelding, also shocked the harness racing world by setting a record for women drivers over a half-mile track with a time of 2:04 _.

In addition to Grandma BurrightÕs victories on race tracks, general audience magazines such as Coronet, Esquire, Hit!, Life, and Look magazines featured her in articles. She also appeared before millions on national television in 1954 and stumped the panelists on WhatÕs My Line?

In Grandma Burright: The Queen of Harness Racing, Kevin Groenhagen explores Grandma BurrightÕs legacy as a wife, mother, grandmother, and, of course, as a harness racing driver. He examines how a diminutive woman of modest means overcame numerous tragedies (the death of a husband, two grandsons, and two sons, all within 12 years) to become known as ÒThe Queen of Harness Racing.Ó

Super Chewer Friendly!!
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Multi
This ball is perfect for the super Chewer!! It is squishy and durable rubber that stands up to the aggressive chewer. It does not squeak. It has great bounce and is a great toy for fetch. Very cute to watching my pup bring the ball back for another throw. The rubber doesn't stick or have an average powering smell. It smells just like a rubber ball. It is highly functional for a great game of fetch! Highly recommend and very happy with our purchase. It is well worth the price. We will be ordering more.

so elegant but best for softer foods
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
I am impressed with this gold silverware. I was surprised because they are very light, but they are also elegant. The handles are a little longer than the usual plasticware, so holding them, using them to eat, made me feel like the meal was elevated. These would be perfect at a garden party, a brunch, a fancy picnic. I love that there are equal numbers of knives, forks, and spoons, and they would look beautiful at place settings, or just tossed into glasses for people to grab what they need. My one misgiving about recommending these for any occasion is the knife. It’s just not sharp, and like the other pieces, it is lightweight. It’s great for spreading butter onto a roll and could cut through soft foods like pasta or cake. But any attempt to cut through a piece of meat or a starchy vegetable that’s just lightly cooked will result in the knife snapping in half. But if you’re serving relatively soft foods (brunch would be perfect!), then this is an elegant, easy solution to feed a lot of people while keeping cleanup to a minimum.
