So we missed a familiar face at our meeting last week. And he’s not going to be at the next meeting. Supposedly he has this good excuse to not be there – something about being in Beijing or whatever.
That’s right – Eric Barber, co-chair of the task force, will be in China to compete in the 2008 Paralympic Games with the US men’s wheelchair basketball team! That’s right – he’ll be over there until the middle of September going for gold. We wish him, along with the other athletes (including several UWW alums and students), the best of luck!
If you’d like to stay on top of the latest happenings with the team, two wheelchair basketball fans have started a blog and will be keeping this side of the world in the loop – 2008 Paralympics USA Wheelchair Basketball.
