Olympic Dreams

1976 001

Part of our downsizing effort includes digitizing all paper documents and artwork for more compact digital storage.  I came across this long-forgotten invitation I received to attend the 1976 Olympic Training Camp. It arrived after I won the NY state freestyle wrestling championship during the summer after I graduated high school. I chose to take a job with Bell Labs in the fall rather than training for the Olympics. Looking back, I realize what a critical fork in the road that decision represented.  I am left to wonder how my life would be different today had I taken the other path.
