    Great Britain May 19 – 29, 1995 Friday/Saturday, May 19–20 – Los Angeles to London After a full day at work and a Santa Monica “Tommy’s Run” with our RAND co-worker Edson Smith (double chili-cheeseburgers, yum!), we got ourselves to the airport and on our British Airways flight. Claire and Alla were on our flight, too; they arrived at the airport, a little later than advised, with Ken and Rod. Both Robert and I were curious as to how the encounter with Rod would go; turned out not so bad, just a little tentative (I certainly had very little to say). After six years, what could one expect? At any rate, Claire and Alla did not get seats together, and wanted to try to fix that, so we left Ken and Rod at the security checkpoint pretty quickly and went to the departure gate. There Claire and Alla did manage to get their seats rearranged and wound up together just a few rows behind us. The flight left about 20 minutes late, at 9:30 PM, and I enjoyed six good hours of sleep 1, missing the food service, but awaking to find Immortal Beloved playing. How perfect it seemed; enjoying German music on a British flight. It really made me look forward to seeing Johannes Weissler and his very British brother Ulrich! We arrived at Heathrow at 3:35 PM local time Saturday. We had a very speedy pass through customs; it was probably an advantage coming into British Airways dedicated international terminal (#4), with most passengers on the flight having European Community (EC) passports.

  • Winter Games Athlete Stories
    SpecialOlympics.org 2017 World Games Athlete Stories More than 2,700 athletes from 107 countries will compete at the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria. Here are just a few of their stories, covering the seven Special Olympics regions around the world. AFRICA DIABATE HADIDIAH, COTE D’IVOIRE, FLOORBALL Diabate loves a challenge. That’s how she became of the few female judo athletes in Special Olympics Cote d’Ivoire – and one of the best. Now she is ready to lead Cote d'Ivoire's mostly female floorball team to their first World Games competition. Diabate used to attend a special education school, but her parents can no longer afford to send her. So these days, she’s learning all she can through her Special Olympics training, including communication and socialization skills. Her strength and stamina have surprised everyone, which is why her coach encouraged her to try the fast-paced team sport of floorball. Through sports, Diabate says she’s found new skills and confidence, plus she’s learned to communicate, cooperate and strategize with teammates. She’s also gained more physical strength racing up and down the field. The Cote d’Ivoire traditional floorball team has been training together for a year. The teammates are ready to take on Team Germany in their floorball first match-up in Austria. Diabate says, "My biggest dream is to return back home with the gold medal." 2 Special Olympics TEAM KENYA, FLOOR HOCKEY Kenya's only competitors in the 2017 World Games know the odds are stacked against them.
