A note from digamma
Quote:
I wanted to share with everyone some exciting news. In honor of my father and brother, I've been selected to carry the Olympic Torch in the global Torch Relay this summer. For the first time, the torch is visiting every prior city that has held an Olympic Games. I will carry the torch in the Los Angeles leg of the relay on June 16. I hope those of you who are in LA will be able to be part of the event--for those of you not in LA, I know you will be here in spirit (as will Dad and Bill).
Quote:

I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks again for your continued support over the last several months,
Stephen

P.S. Here is a link to the US Olympic Committee press release:

Thanks everyone. I'm obviously really excited. It has been hard to keep this a secret. I found out in late March, but had to sign an NDA not to disclose anything until they issued the press release. I'll provide more details as I get more info and the day nears.

You're still in all our thoughts.

Whatever you do, don't try to light a fart with the torch. I promise you they are very touchy about that.
