Since leaving IUPUI, have been unable to go to a trials. Thank you so very much for sharing you great big TEXAS view with us! ” everything Texas ( not from there, but my now now deceased father was based there as a young man before being shipped overseas. I miss my hero, nobody loves me or watches swimming like the two of us together. Miss you everyday dad! But on August 5, our next 16-18 days of glory won’t shine nearly as much. But I will have both eyes in RIO for the two of us. Thanks Texas, there is a heart beating in Cincinnati for all of our athletes and the black line….
