OK ... I was wrong about the Patriots ...
But speaking of snow and cold, I'll paste a photo from Norway, from March 1993, in honor of a real American hero ...
Weirs Times Sports Columnist Mike Moffett, a veteran of 1991’s Operation
Desert Storm connected with the late General H. Norman Schwarzkopf in
1993 above the Arctic Circle in Norway, where then-Captain Moffett was
participating in Operation Battle Griffin, an Arctic warfare exercise.
Schwarzkopf had recently retired from the army and was in Norway for
CBS-TV Sports. Video footage of Moffett’s men training in the snow aired the
next year as part of CBS Sports coverage of the Olympic Biathlon at the
Lillehammer (Norway) Winter Olympics. Schwarzkopf passed away at the age of 78
on Dec. 27 in Tampa, Florida.
I drove Gen around that day in SUSV. The photo was taken in the ski-lodge at the 'mixer'? I hauled he and Gen Neal, Col Vercautern up to you guys.
