Random something no one knows about you?
In early August of ’05 while participating in the River Cities Triathlon in Shreveport, there was a minor bike accident during transition. Somehow I ended up losing a toe while my son Trey watched as a spectator. The race volunteer that picked up the toe, had Trey hold it unknowingly wrapped up in a towel while we waited for emergency personnel.
