Message: [QUOTE="Marsh01, post: 208626, member: 473"] Back in 2009 my wife and I did a 4 day trip to Lake Placid and one of the things we did was take a tour of the Olympic facilities. Well we were the only ones on the tour that day and it was done by a man named James Rogers. He basically was one of the people who was responsible for the olympics to he held in Lake Placid. This guy must have liked us because the one hour tour turned into a 3 hour personal history of everything that was the 1980 olympics. I saw that noone on the tours has ever seen. I got to actually wear a gold medal that the hockey team received around my neck, got to touch and see many of the pieces of equipment that were used. Memorabilia that has been locked away since 1980 he gave us access too. He showed up private videos that were taken of the Olympics that I have never seen. Throw in all of the stories this guy told and it was probably one of the best sports days as a fan I have ever spent on this planet. [/QUOTE]
