I'm Jane, the great, great granddaughter of Martha "Hoppy" Addison. Great Grandma Martha was the founding member of the Bouncing Balls Babe Brigade. Growing up in the Depression Era, Martha's family was very poor, but on Christmas of 1931, Martha got her first bouncing ball. Martha would keep her mind off the troubles facing her family from the depression by spending her days bouncing in Goodwin Park. Eventually all of the neighborhood girls began to join in and hours would be spent in Goodwin Park every day just bouncing. In the early 1950s, Martha and eight of her closest friends would leave college for the call of the bouncing. They left Goodwin Park and boarded a plane to Korea to entertain the troops. After the Korean War ended in 1953, little was heard from the Bouncing Balls Babe Brigade. They were awarded medals for their contributions, but most of their activities in the years to follow remain shrouded in mystery. Rumors varied from the group losing their sanity from the trauma they experienced in Korea and spending their remaining years in an institution to the group having a hand in most major decisions made by the U.S. government in the last fifty years. Whatever the truth, 2006 marks the reemergence of the Bouncing Balls Babe Brigade into the public eye. For more information, check out www.bouncingballsbabebrigade.com.
