The 4 of Spades coordinate

Ann Curtis was born March 6 (1926-03-06). Month 3 and day 6 give solar value 43, which is the 4 of Spades (The Rigid Truth). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1926 is unused. The 4 of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Ann Curtis for United States.

Ann Curtis in the public record

She would later have a career as a swim coach opening the Ann Curtis Swim Club and School of Swimming in Terra Linda, California. Ann Elisabeth Curtis was born in San Francisco, California, and trained in her early years by nuns. She began swimming at the age of 9, while she and her sister spent two years at the Ursuline Convent boarding school in Santa Rosa. She later attended and graduated San Francisco's Washington High School. Recognized by a coach at San Francisco's Jewish Community Center, Ann and her sister Sue trained there initially, and then at the larger and modern Fairmont Hotel Pool. "1924 to be exact—the Crystal Plunge (originally named the Crystal Palace Salt Water Baths) was opened at 775 Lombard Street, between Mason and Taylor, by Italian immigrant Edward Cerruti, Jr. It was there that swim coach Charlie Sava (for whom the Larsen Park Pool at 19th Avenue and Wawona Street was re-named decades later) coached San Francisco native and George Washington High School grad Ann Curtis." Anne developed more quickly under the direction of Hall of Fame Coach Charlie Sava as a member of San Francisco's Crystal Plunge Swimming Club that practiced at a wide 50-yard pool, the Terrace Plunge, now the Tonga Room at Fairmont San Francisco, a hotel in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Sava, aware of her potential, managed Curtis for eight years, introducing modern training techniques.
