Professional? No, not professional, but pretty close. I played 2 years of offensive tackle for the Valley Forge Junior High School junior varsity football team.
Try not to be overly impressed. |

Baseball is a professional sport. I’ve played that before.

I was a winter sport guy. No money in that. Expert skier in the Downhill & GS, along with Hockey. Continued doing both for a few years while in the Army. A few of my buds were in the 76 & 80 Olympics.
Being from northern NH, kind of just what we did |

A good friend on mine was in the 84 Olympics and won the heavyweight Greco Roman wrestling gold. I'm referring to Jeff Blatnick. I used to wrestle heavy weight in high school and tied up a couple times with Jeff when he was getting ready to go to the Olympics, man he bounced me around like a rubber ball.
