Thoughts
from Randy - Blog
In The Presence of Dignity
Our 2010 State Summer Games were amazing in
more ways than I have room to write about. Athletes competing in
five sports bring a unique depth of “personality” to these Games, as
do the 1,000+ volunteers who have come to make everyone’s three-day
experience wildly successful. Cycling and gymnastics are intimate
with small numbers of athletes and lots of personal attention.
Track, bocce, and unified volleyball are off the charts HUGE and
there is more to watch than one’s eyes can behold. Of all the Summer
Games moments that took place, however, I have chosen to write about
one performance that has stayed with me. No matter how this is going
to read - I’m quite sure I won’t even come close to doing it
justice.
