Olympic Torch Run 10 Year Anniversary

I was just reminded that today is the 10 year anniversary since Papa Bear ran the Olympic Torch and passed it to my step-sister, Nicole.    They ran the torch for a few blocks along 11th Avenue in Salt Lake City as part of the Winter Olympics in 2002.  It was an exhilarating moment for all of us and indeed a once in a lifetime experience for PB and Nicole.

 If I have my story straight, Nicole nominated PB for the courage and selfless act of donating one of his kidney's to his oldest son, Ben (in the red jacket).  A few years later, that kidney fell apart and Ben's brother Paul (in the blue jacket) donated one of his kidneys to Ben.  Now Paul lives on through Ben.  Pretty remarkable.
