I met your dad when I worked for old lyme builders during my summer and winter breaks from college. I remember him telling the stories about him winning a gold medal. I asked him if he would bring it in because I was always enamored with the Olympic games. He brought that medal in and showed me. I was thankful for that. Until tonight, I couldn't remember his name when I was looking up eight man rowing from the different years. I was happy to learn more about him. My condolences to his family and friends.
