Maria "Mary" Concepcion Gayle
In 1959, my mother, Mary Concepcion, went to watch a Masdelco Warriors basketball game with her friend Ray Reyes, who worked for a different construction company. He did not work for or play for Masdelco.
At the game, she was pulled from the audience and asked to be the "muse" for the team. She was then included in their team photo. She didn't know anyone on the team.
My mother eventually went on to marry my father, the late Andrew Gayle.
