Centurian Olympian



On this eve of the start of the Summer Olympics.  I wonder how many of you have ever dreamed of participating in the Olympics.  I know I have.  I have thought, what if....  But do these dreams ever have to die?  How old is too old?  Maybe we can't qualify for the regular Olympics, but what about something like the Big Sky State Games.  10,000 atheletes come to Billings, Montana to compete in the various sports of these games.  And how old is too old?  Well, Wayne's uncle Barney just competed this past weekend in the 4 x 100 relay in the 85+ group.  He is 101.  This picture was taken from a newscast that featured him.  He not only competed, but was able to meet Olgar Korbut who opened the games and lit the flame.  Well, maybe your dream isn't to compete in sports, but to accomplish something else in some other field.  The message here is, never give up on your dreams.  It is never too late.
