I curled in the National Champioships in Ogden,UT in 2000. The winner of the championship was the next Olympic team. We actually did very well in the first round and were one of the top teams (16 teams in two brackets, we were 5-2). In the first game of the second round we lost a heartbreaker to the prior Olympic team in an extra end. The thing I remember most was that a local school was let into the arena and was sitting in the upper deck watching the match. A few kids started throwing M&Ms onto the ice. The pieces were too big to affect the rocks but it was a funny scene.

Since we did win a bronze, and 10th place, in Star we did okay. I have met one of the medalists, Peter Dean from Mass. The best yachtsmen on that 1972team sailed out of Wisconsin.

Can't remember if it was 1986 or 87. I won the State tournament at 165lbs. in boxing for the Junior Olympics. Back then it was like a qualifier to try out for the Olympic team and if you placed high enough you could fight internationally.

Hey Frank,

When I saw it was your thread, I thought you'd be reminiscing about the days back on Mount Olympus!!

You are a child of the universe,

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Sounds like you are speaking of Buddy Melges. I live not far from him in Southern Wisconsin and go past the small "factory" on occasion in a VERY small town here. It is so small the post office used to be someone's front porch.

Yes, Buddy Melges, Bill Bentsen and Bill Allen, gold medalists in the soling class (3 man keelboat) were members of the Lake Geneva Yacht Club, though Melges was the only one from Wisconsin. Melges was born in Elkhorn and lived in Zelda. Allen was from Minneapolis and Bentsen from Chicago. Bentsen graduated undergrad from the same school as my wife, Denison in Ohio.
