Playing Wheel Chair Basketball With Greg and Other Challenge Friends

I met up with Greg and Don at the Bear's Tooth (hip Anchorage eatery) to toast Tom, tell some great stories, and talk about Greg (and Don's) exciting future with the US Paralympic Team program. They are both on their way! Afterward they invited me to come play wheel chair basketball with them. The fact that I didn't have my own wheel chair didn't seem to be an issue, they had extras at the game. What was great about this experience is that some of the kids that I taught to ski last year where out on the court and ended up teaching me how to play. We all had a great time and pay backs were the highlight for everyone 'smile". Something about me laughing at them when they crashed on the slopes...I would never do that.."smile"
