Biggest Soccer Thrill
Being able to go to World Cup 93 in Palo Alto, Ca. Being lucky to not only have tickets to, but have the USA advance to play Brazil on July 4, 1993, and be part of the electricity. The US team stayed in our hotel and mingled with only patrons of the hotel for a couple of days before the game. AWESOME!
