Ah...the Memories!

It really was stupid! I don't know if I'd ever jumped off the high board before! I think I may have had the bellyflop of the century but I didn't care...) CANADA WON! This may not seem like a big deal nowdays but back then the Russians were the Bad Guys (we were led to believe) behind the Iron Curtain, repressing their citizens and slowly taking over the world in a cold and loveless manner! When that goal went in it was like the Free World flipping the Russian Bear the big Finger! And in some small part every kid in the Recreation Center that day took part in the first steps towards the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the eventual crumbling of the Soviet dream.
