Called to Serve: Memoirs of a Table Tennis Champion

She had made the decision to become a nurse and to spend her life serving in this noble profession. Instead, Pat Quintyne Hildebrand found herself drawn to a sport she had grown to love and a call to serve in a different, but meaningful way. In these memoirs, Pat recounts her carefree childhood growing up on a small island and her move to Canada and later to the U.S.A. She recalls in vivid detail the highlights and challenges of her life and sports career that took her from an old neighborhood warehouse gym with a broken elevator to the spotlight on a national team that helped shape her country’s history. She shares stories of special and unusual events and of friendships made, many of them lifelong friendships. She relives the excitement of hard fought games and the disappointment of tough losses. Through sheer determination, she overcomes many barriers to make her way to the top in her chosen sport. This American Immigrant memoir is a resounding example of the hard work and determination of a champion. For many reasons it is immortalized and enshrined in the Barack Obama Presidential Library, The U.S. Library of Congress, and the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.
