“As my birthday falls on the 13th, the number 13 has always been my lucky number and therefore holds no superstitions. And in my 13-year-old daughter Abby’s case, when the number 13 was not available to her for a soccer jersey, I did the next best thing: She wears number 26, which of course is 13 doubled. Perhaps I am in the minority but I actually look forward to Friday the 13ths.”
“My picture as a senior at Iowa State where I was a (back-up) place kicker (and wore 13).” (Dave Rieff)
