...have any pins (I wanted start a collection), but I do have a story. My Uncle, Armand Parent, was a time keeper working for IBM during the 1980 Lake Placid Olymics. He lived in Burlington, VT. During the Olympics housing was very tight and hard to get in the Olympic Village, so he hosted the Austrian alpine team at his house. My cousins Craig and Christopher were avid skiers, and followed those guys around like puppy dogs, begging for lessons from the few guys who spoke english. To this day my cousins like to tell folks that as teenagers they trained with the 1980 Austrian Olympic Team.
