| Nineteen eighty three came around and it was time to order Olympic tickets. Decisions were hard as no one knew how available the tickets would be and funds, as well as time away from work, were not unlimited. I decided to apply for as much as I reasonably could and ended up, fortunately, getting almost all of what I applied for. I didn't know it at the time, but I was in store for an experience of a lifetime. Here are a few of my favorite memories of those games.
