Had an interesting encounter [View all]

I was at an IHOP at a meeting and this man walked by wearing a gold medal. One of the pastors I was with asked him about the medal and he introduced himself as Sugar Ray Seales. He was the gold medal winner at the 1972 Olympics in Munich in his division for boxing. He was giving a speech in the back room and when he came by, he stopped and lety us see his medal! It was kind of cool.
