off to training

Bright and early every morning we wait in the lobby of our hotel for our transportation to arrive to take us to our training sessions. Our credentials are a requirement every time we depart our hotel for security purposes. Today our training sessions were on penalty kick, offside, and assistant referee involvement. The penalty kick session was about the decisions of the referee when attackers and defenders encroach the penalty area. The offside and AR involvement came hand and hand with our session. Our instructors let us know when AR's should and shouldn't be involved. Our daily sessions last about two hours.

We want to thank all of you for the kind words and support through our Olympic experience.

Hi Kermit, We have often wondered about you and your family. It's good to see you are doing well. As a matter of fact, very well. We are so proud of you. Remember Gordon and Rodney at Mayfield. Your mother took care of them while my wife Jo Ann worked at the hospital. That was a long time ago but we still have fond memories. Jo Ann passed away about 3 1/2 years ago. I know you're very busy right now. Write if you find the time sometime in the future. Keep up the good work. Our prayers are with you. Dalton Gream
