Met and provided treatments to Various other gold from Super G downhill, skeletan, tennis- Aggassi, mountain biking and so on. Names you would not recognized as US gives little importance to stars and performances from other countries.

Worked on Emmitt Smith - leg injury at Univ. of Fla and his girlfriend at the time Pam Titus- First to hit a 10 in floor exercises for the UNiv of Fla. Worked on Dennis Mitchell- recognized as the fastest human many years back.

Had lunch at the same table with various Olympic teams- not sure why- except I was hungry.

Worked on Andy and Alan Benes both were pitchers for St. Louis Cards- while spring ball was being played in St. Pete.

Had a baseball signed by the whole Detroit Team in the year they won it all with Al Kaline, Mickey Lolich, Denny McLain etc.( Lakeland Florida- spring ball) Gave it to my nephew who thinks he knows where it is!

Met Steve Young- my namesake at the Super Bowl here in Jacksonville and we talked about his role at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Autographed my business card. Just walking by and he was just finishing up with Jaws on TV about the game.

Know Phillie reliever Brett Myers from Jacksonville and sitting at the same table enjoying some mutual friends playing music in the off season.

Met Earl Cambell running back- now one of the most famous people of all time in Texas along with Davy Crockett, and 6 others!
Thats all I can think of. I have a slew of actors but that is another story.
I realize this thread will be hijacked if not already but some of us really had some cool moments.
