Geeky Yet Waterproof

A few days ago, someone who looked sort of exactly like this said to me in the elevator, “Oh, you’re Eamon, I assigned you to your position in the committee.”

It wasn’t until the next day when I saw his name tag that I recognized him as Chris Thompson, the Olympic distance swimmer from Roseburg, Oregon.

I got his autograph sort of on accident, because as an activity to get to know people, we were handed out sheets with questions like, “Are you from the Western Zone”, “Are you from the Eastern Zone?”, “Have you been to Convention more than five times?”. And we were supposed to get people to sign their name on questions that are true for them. Well, I got Chris Thompson to sign “Do you not have a Facebook account?”.



There are several other Olympians here, such as Lenny Krazelburg and Aaron Piersol, although I haven’t seen them yet. But I did see Aaron Piersol’s coach — in the coffee lounge.
