Olympics eve, shirts and caps

It is Wednesday evening. Tomorrow we load up the car and drive to Detroit for the 90th AYF Olympics. It is wonderful to return to Detroit, where I grew up, for the Olympics. It is good to be driving instead of flying. It is good be in a revitalized Detroit in a downtown hotel. It is even better to see family and friends and experience the AYF spirit in the special way that happens only at the Olympics.

I should be packing.  But instead, I am writing the first of my daily articles.

  1. I had a maternal grandmother from Kharpert. She lived in the orphanage there. If possible, I would like to get a shirt. Please let me know who to contact. Thank you.
