Wow. It's been four years already and now, tea anyone?, it will be in England. I was stoked four years ago when it was in China because Lopez Lomong of Syracuse was representing Sudanese-Americans, but also named to carry the American flag. This summer, he carries the pride of representing Tide.
I continue to see his journey and accomplishments as miraculous. He has overcome tremendous odds and his life story is impossible to capture in words. Instead, I cheer him on in spirit and wish him the best in th 2012 summer Olympics. I know I will be watching enthusiastically from Connecticut.
I had the honor of "teaching" Lopez when I was a substitute teacher in the Tully School District!
