Philadelphia. A large monthly telephone bill, Washington said, indicates how often they talk. Mother and daughter usually see each other at Christmas.
By the time Josie had graduated from KU, her mother had been with the University for 13 years. Washington started at KU as a graduate assistant in the department of Physical Education and Recreation and taught several sports-related classes.
When reflecting on the status of the women's athletic program in 1972, Washington used the women's basketball team as an example.
"We were not nearly where we wanted to be."
"When I first got here," Washington said, "we were playing teams like Haskell and Washburn. We had to paper bag it and travel to the away games in cars. And, of course, we had to go and come back on the same day. Coaches' salaries were $2,000 to $4,000.
Car washes bring back memories of working for extra money for scholarships.
It was until 1975 that Washington was able to offer the first women's basketball scholarship. It went to Adrian Mitchell, who eventually became an All-American.
The hard times experienced by women's athletics at KU were made clear when the men's and women's Athletic Departments were separate, Washington said. People could see how much the women lacked. She was appointed to the
position of women's athletic director in 1973 and was the only person to hold the job in the five year history of the Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Department.
The two Athletic Departments merged in 1979, and Washington returned her concentration to her coaching duties.
"Many good things have happened since we merged," she said. "In the area of scholarships alone, most of our sports are fully funded. I think here at KU, although some big steps have been made, we still have a long way to go."
A 1977 recruited named Lynette Woodard helped the women's basketball program as much as additional funds did, Washington said.
Woodard, whom Washington considers her protege, became an All-American and one of the top woman athletes in the country. Her name still dominates the KU record books.
Woodard now travels as the first female member of the Harlem Globetrotters, but talks with Washington whenever she is in the United States.
Between her efforts to bolster support for women's athletics, recruiting trips and the company of good friends, time spent alone is a rare commodity in Washington's life. A self-described home person, she expressed interest in a variety of pastimes.
"I like to meditate and spend time by myself," said Washington, who now is single. "If I had some free time, there are so many things I would like to do. I love art. At one time I wanted to be an artist. I work with my computer. I love to read and I like physical fitness. If I had a chance, I would be a photographer."

said she planned to go back as soon as she could.
The room Post and Mullins share is filled with posters and photographs. On a bulletin board is a snapshot of the two of them at a residence hall party last year. Their arms are thrown around one another, and the four hands that can be seen emerging from the tangle are signing a message.
ing a message:
The message is "I love you," and is made by extending a thumb, small finger and index finger.
Post looked at a poster on the wall that showed two women on a track. Their arms are draped around one another as they cool down after a race.
"I ran the hurdles at the last Deaf Olympics," she said. "I placed fourth. My coach wants me to do the heptathlon in New Zealand in 1989."
New Zealand Post said that in her freshman year she had practiced with the KU track team for a few weeks but that she now trained by herself because the team took too much time.
Post would like to be more accepted by all of her acquaintances, Quinlan said. She and Post have different opinions on the way a deaf person should learn and live.
Post has been deaf since birth. She said she had been raised by parents who thought a speaking approach was the best way for her to learn. This meant that understanding and trying to speak sometimes took precedence over her communication skills, Quinlan said.
Post said her parents knew very little sign language, and encouraged her to talk when possible.
She said her parents sent her to an oral school where she learned Signing Exact English. This is a sign language that tries to develop a student's English skills, stressing reading comprehension and a complete English vocabulary, Quinlan said.
Quinlan said she supported the use of American Sign Language, which combines signing with pantomime.
"ASL is a language that allows the student to more easily express himself by using signed words and phrases," she said. "It is not only faster, but is considered by some to be an art form. Many deaf people put their own stamp on a word. They like to embellish it and make it their own."
in the spring, Quinlan took Post to meet some of her deaf friends who have a bowling team in a league in Olathe.
"Most of them spoke ASL. I thought it would be nice for Amy to see how they got along with each other," Quinlan said.
Post said the experience was an interesting one, but the people there signed too fast for her to understand much.
Quinlan said Post understood only about half of the lecture material that was interpreted for her because of her lack of expertise in ASL.
post said that she understood fairly well and that she would like to continue to associate with her hearing friends.
Her speech is difficult to understand, but with a little practice, it is possible to catch most of what she says.
Post and Quinlan will work together for the rest of this semester and possibly beyond, they said.
