The Olympics Are Soon To Begin!
I know that some folks are wondering when I will stop bragging about Tucson and the people who have ties to "The Old Pueblo." The answer is: NEVER! This is an amazing city, and the people are what make it so!
Without further ado, I would like to honor those with local ties, whose efforts bring them to the pinnacle of sport--the Olympics. Whether they win medals or not, the fact that they have earned a spot to represent their country is something to be noted.

Congratulations, Tucson Olympians! Good luck in Beijing...and may the experience be one you never forget to pass on to others.
I apologize in advance for any omissions I may have inadvertently made - I will be adding to the list as more teams are announced. If you know of anyone that isn't on this list, please let me know. We should honor these individuals for their efforts!

"Never forget - Real Estate Is About People"
That's a lot of people from just one small area of the country! Tuscon must be a great place to TRAIN for athletics!
That is great! This is a lot of world class atheletes for one city, but great job! I hope that they all win Gold!
Ron - Tucson's a great place to LIVE as well as train!
Tony & Darcy - I hope that they all go gold also, but what memories to pass on, huh?
Gotta love all the Arizona swimmers in action... I can hardly wait.
Chuck - there are even more swimmers with Arizona ties competing for their home countries, too!
