[412-public-news] Busy year so far. Yes, I am of the year-of-the rooster.
The month has been busy. Three updates below:
1. Catherine’s stories,
2. my new duties as executive director of a nonprofit, and
3. my presentation to California swim coaches.
#1) My wife’s fourth story was recently part of the national radio show,
Moth Radio Hour, and associated podcast. For a bit of humor, tune in. Tip:
the full recording of the show is worth the time as the second and third
stories are amazing too.

Planning for summer is in full swing. If you think my efforts with
sportsmanship, teamwork, aquatic safety and aquatic fun can help you and
yours, email or come to the Saturday Swim School at Oliver High School on
the city’s Northside. We can visit there and better sustain these
wave-making activities. http://swim.cloh.org/saturdays/

Our city, Pittsburgh.
Come Live Over Here — if you can. Sadly, we had no Saturday Swim School because of freezing rain that was then covered with five-inches of snow throughout the night. In the day, the temperature hovered about 10-degrees Fahrenheit. But, we’ve got a team to cheer for on Sunday!
