[Sonar] A Must Read

[Bert Foster]

Hi All,

I want to share an article with you that was published in the 
December 14, 2009 edition of Sports Illustrated magazine. The 
subjects of the article happen to be two Paralympic athletes, one a 
sailor and one a swimmer.  This article is a good example of the 
saying "putting things in prospective."   Everyday physical ailments, 
personal or career set-backs take a back seat to the tough challenges 
that some people and their families experience. Here is the link to 
the article.

Nick Scandone.  Nick was the 2005 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year and 
2008 Paralympic gold medalist.  Nick and his wife as well as Maureen 
McKinnon-Tucker were friends of ours on the Paralympic Regatta 
circuit.  When we first met Nick he was walking with a cane.  At the 
trials he was in a motorized wheelchair.  Nick was an inspiration to 
us all.  Our friend will be missed.

Regards,
Bert
