I think she looks great![/quote]

There was a post on FB from Dematha HS about her relationship with a local man who was paralyzed as a teen that might change your mind. Pasted here since it was posted publicly but and you can find it on their page with photos. She sounds kind of awesome honestly. https://www.facebook.com/demathahighschool

f you watched last night's Academy Awards Show, you would have seen Jamie Lee Curtis accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the film, "Everything All At Once."
DeMatha connection?  Yes, it seems.

The Tim Strachan '94 story is fairly well known, as the once heralded quarterback was confined to a wheelchair after a tragic diving accident in the ocean while on vacation in the summer of 1993.

That fall, The Washington Post sports section included a rather lengthy story about Tim, who, by that time, was at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, DC. The day the article came out, Tim's brother Beau was working in DC as a "Grip" on a movie called "True Lies" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.
"My brother was sitting down on the set eating lunch when Jamie Lee came walking right up to him,"  Tim said.  "She said, 'Is that your brother? I want to go see him'."  Sure enough, with no fanfare, the actress showed up at the hospital basically unannounced.  It was the beginning of a longtime friendship.
Tim and Jamie Lee established a connection and as Tim says, "She kept showing up."  (Tim was also visited by Schwarzenegger as well, but that's a different story for a different day).

"One day back then a friend of mine came by the hospital room to see me and was most surprised to see Jamie Lee there," Tim said. "Jamie Lee decided that I needed a VCR in my room and had brought it in and was mounting it herself.  She was just such a normal person."

Tim said the two exchanged emails and the actress also gave him her home phone number.  Jamie Lee also visited Tim when he was still living at his parents house.
"We stayed in contact but we did lose touch for a while," Tim said.  "I did let her know I was getting married and she sent a wedding gift and later on mailed us copies of the books for children she had written, all individually autographed with a set for each one of my kids."

Despite the connection, Tim felt a little timid when his wife suggested they go to book signing the actress was appearing at in Bethesda in the summer of 2018.  "I hadn't seen Jamie Lee for a while and I felt a little weird.  But we walked in and she saw me and she lost it.  She screamed and gave me a big hug."
Soon after the book signing began but the actress wanted to make sure she had a few moments with the Strachan family.  "The book signing had basically just started but we all went behind a curtain and visited with her for a bit."

Tim now texts with the actress so it is no surprise he sent her this message this morning -- "I have never had the chance to congratulate an Oscar winner directly, so here it is.  Well deserved!"

As of late this morning, there had been no reply but we know in time there will be.  Tim says she always replies.  As we can only imagine, the actress is probably a little busy.[/quote]
