I am named after my grandfather. He was an Olympic gold and silver medalist in bobsledding...and they wonder why I am a perfectionist at everything I do. I found an old Camel Cigarette ad today, put out in 1949. I do find it a bit odd that a group of Olympians where used to advertise smoking. Things sure have changed. The driver for the USA 1948 gold medal team was known for smoking both before and after a race. For the record...I smoke Camel Lights....LOL

He's even in Wikipedia and I found a picture of him and his team. That is way awesome!! What a neat legacy he has left behind.
But I still ain't telling you my middle name!
