dad was one of the refs chosen to officiate
the practice games
the practice games
held in san diego for the
1992 summer
olympic games.
olympic games.
here he is at one of those
games.

i'm so proud of my dad.
he's a hard worker.
he flew up and down the coast of california
to be at his games.
what do they call them?
pac 10?
