I'm interested in the story of how you got to run. I also love that you take the torch to your sister's classroom to share a bit of real history. I have done the same with my own classroom during Olympic years and have let the kids run with it in a mock relay.

I carried the torch just hours after you... though I lived in Anaheim at the time, I was assigned to the Carmel Valley, and ran with it at 6:30 a.m. the next morning after you ran with it. We arrived in Carmel the day before, and stayed up late with the throngs of people in Carmel to watch the Flame for the first time.<br />Because of the early morning and remote location, there wasn't much of a crowd, but I did appreciate running in sunlight.<br />Nice to be reminded of the Torch Run again, as we watch the Vancouver 2010 Olympics on TV. I take my torch on a show and tell to my sister's classroom each Olympic year to share the joy with others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332683689932495020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872306181542091514.post-55160145546122841952008-05-15T15:37:00.000-04:002008-05-15T15:37:00.000-04:00thanks erzi. has it been that long???thanks erzi. has it been that long???Blinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209361947351963691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872306181542091514.post-88865867314430339022008-05-14T23:29:00.000-04:002008-05-14T23:29:00.000-04:00I really liked reading this entry, especially the ...I really liked reading this entry, especially the line, "'spreading the Olympic spirit, the message of peace and friendship' and helping to 'ignite the passion of the people around the world.'" It's so powerful and such an inspirational thing to be a part of. :) Extremely proud of you--even 24 years after the fact!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279415253667542168noreply@blogger.com
