Back in 1981

California State fair, 1981, my sister Carol and I took my sons Philip 4 and Steven 18 months to the fair. It was a wonderful summer day in August; the weather wasn’t too hot it was actually a perfect day in sunny Southern Calif. We decided to see the animals first, while the morning was fresh and we felt like walking. The boys were full of chatter about what’s this and what’s that pointing to …

…ribbons. I have always had fond memories for the day young innocence was tried beyond sleepiness. I sit back and ponder sometimes how much fun we had giggling all through the day, I still proudly display Stevens ribbons and the picture that was taken from the newspaper, even though it is getting a bit yellowed from age. One day I will be able to show Steven’s children what a little "Olympian" their father was.
