Lloy Ball
Posted by Mike Sylvester - 9/4/08 @ 5:59 pm - Filed Under Featured, Uncategorized
Lloy Ball recently won an olympic gold medal in the 2008 summer olympics.
My daughter Kayla is in 2nd grade at OakView Elementary School. One of her classmates is the niece of Lloy Ball.
Lloy Ball took the time to come into school and meet with the entire class and discuss the olympics. He signed autographs and told the children about the olympics. He showed them his gold medal and the kids were allowed to touch the gold medal.
My daughter abolsutely loved the fact that she met Lloy Ball and she has been talking about it for two days!
Here is the fact she heard from Lloy Ball that interested her the most in the Olympics:
“There were 2000 coke machines and the athletes could get free beverages from the machines any time they wanted to.”
