Well, folks, the US men's soccer team had an Olympic debut to forget. The long-awaited return to Olympic competitions, after a lengthy 16-year absence, was marked by a painful 3-0 defeat to host nation France. Playing at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, the Americans managed to hold off the French for an hour but eventually succumbed to the talent and experience of Alexandre Lacazette and company. The stadium atmosphere was electric, with 67,000 fans eager to see their team shine, and in the end, the hosts did not disappoint.

I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.
