My Favorite Memory? - Do You have any?
Was it my first Marathon win swimming the Saguenay River from Chicotimi to Port Alfred?
Was it my first race when I was six years old getting a bronze medal?
Was it having a slice of bread with butter and brown sugar or bread with butter and tomato ketchup on it during the war when everything was rationed?
Dare I mention my wedding day with Chuckie?
The reason I brought this up, I had a slice of bread with butter with a teaspoon of brown sugar on it with my coffee 10 minutes ago and did it bring back memories.....

My first swimmeet...I was 8 years old and had stayed in the baby pool until my sister who was 2 years older was on the swim team...I said I wanted too swim in the meet too.. the coach said well you have too swim the length of the pool first ( mind you I had never been off the steps at this point )so I dove in and swam all the strokes for 25 yards and swam my first meet on my 8th birthday for the La Mesa Swim Team in 1965. Been swimming ever since.
