//I'm not sure how old I was, maybe 5 or 6 or 7. Anyway Gramps (Milan) was cleaning the pool with one of those old vacuum hoses. My grandmother was still alive. I was wearing a button down sweater I think and jeans and was playing around the pool with this rubber alligator. I was splashing the tail in and out of the pool area. I would go to different parts of the pool and flick the tail into the water. Anyway when I got to the deep end I may have fallen in or I may have just went ahead dropped into the pool. Remember I'm wearing a sweater and jeans. I start to do the breast stroke, face down in the water. I'm not sure how long I was in the water but I felt a hand drag me out of the water and there was my grandfather smiling and yelling "You swam, you swam. You were swimming all on your own." You see it was the first time that I swam without water wings.//

//I learned the hard way that Milan is a better man than me. Shortly after being married, Milan took Tanja & I to Mammouth Mtn skiing. Milan was about 70 and I was about 30. We got up the first morning, Milan said he was going to show me the mountain. As I remember, there was 17 runs on that mountain. By noon we had done all 17 and stopped for lunch. After lunch, Milan asked if I was ready to head back. I replied; "Yes, which bus do I take back to the lodge?" He skiied back and I rode the bus back to the lodge.//
