The Ballard Bunch

I was watching "Dancing with the Stars" the other night and remembered that one of the contestants and I go way back...like to 2002. Em and I were so smitten with Apolo that we snagged him in the Athlete's Village at the 2002 Olympics in SLC and got this great picture. It's one of my all time favorites, even if we did get grief from work about "fraternizing with the athletes". What a fun time - I was very lucky to have that experience!
