I'm sure this is the Donna Brayboy that I served with in Frankfurt, W. Germany in the US Army...She was the best basketball player on the best team in all of Europe...I fondly called her Animal because she was an absolute 'Beast' on the court...Was thinking about her today and was prompted to perform a search...Though it's been a while since her passing I have great memories of our time served together...Continued condolences to her family and loved ones...If anyone should have a picture or would like to share anything please reach [email protected]
