Harper Hall still going … and going

AT THE AGE of 76, most people try to enjoy retirement, keep away from stress, relax and unwind.

In the case of sports administrators, the majority have long called it a day. Not Kathy Harper-Hall.

For close to 60 years, her life has been one of service to sport.

Harper-Hall has given yeoman service to several sports for the majority of her life and it was only fitting that she was bestowed with a Barbados Service Medal in the recent Independence Day honours.

“When you’re not expecting something and you get it, it is like a surprise. I feel honoured. I’m not overwhelmed by it. I am grateful. I am even more grateful to the person who nominated me,” she told the WEEKEND NATION.

“This means a lot to me, not just that one of my netballers would think that they should nominate me for this award but the overwhelming part is the responses I have been getting from people from all over the world in every sphere of my life, every person whose life I have touched in some way.”

Please read the full story in today’s Weekend Nation, or in the eNATION edition.
