âTypical ugly American, attempting to impose your ill-will on others and spoil the party.
Life is not a dress rehearsal, Walt, be in it!â Malmo, Once again you have misread someone elseâs words . It wasn't me sitting behind the Greek woman and I never said it was. But I keep forgetting that youâre all-knowing and all-witty, so it must have been my poor writing that led you to think that I was the one asking the woman to sit down. Before I turned âproâ and actualy had to work at meets, I was a fan like everyone else, and I was the first to jump up and cheer, especially when Manhattan College was a force at the NCAA Indoor meet in the early 1970s. People would cringe and hide their children from this raving lunatic who was out of control when the Jaspers were involved in a race. But that didnât mean that I couldnât be considerate of those around me at other times. As for the security people in Sacramento, there was a time when I would have been one of those led out in handcuffs rather than put up with their crap. No one loves a party more than I do, especially at the Olympics. And I may be ugly, but I'm anything but an "Ugly American" and I have never been accused of imposing "ill-will" on anyone, except by you. I have no desire to engage in a battle of words with you over this, since I yield to your superior intellect and writing ability. I wish you well in your effort to âmalmoizeâ everyone in your image, but Iâll take a pass, thank you. Walt Murphy
