Curling with the Big Boys
 
Recently, our curling club (http://www.evergreencurling.org) was honored with a visit by the bronze winning 2006 Olympic men’s curlers, Team Fenson. After golfing and lunching with some of our team members, they joined us on the ice for a demonstration and strategy discussion. They curled with us in a mock game, and then gave us tips on how to improve our performance. If that weren’t enough, they later attended our team potluck and stayed hours as they regaled us with curling related stories (including the Tortellini Story) as we fans sat on the edge of our seats. Â In these days when celebrity sports figures are in the press for their misdeeds, it was inspiring to meet such down-to-earth athletes who are generous with their time. Thanks Pete, Shawn, Joe, Scott, and Coach Bob!
