[J. R. VanHoose]

JR-- just wanted to say read the article about the Russian national team that that played in
Paintsville & went on to get gold medal (1972)in most controversial game ever played.
Very good & interesting article and enjoyed reading, looking forward to your next article.

Know you know this but the United States team has never accepted & have said they will
never accept their silver medal. Remember watching a show on ESPN & these guys said they will take the pain of that game to their graves.

Thanks!!!! I'm glad you liked it. I love to write and I'm planning on doing more of these articles in the future. I've been wanting to write like this for a while and now I have the opportunity. One of my biggest thrills has been meeting Kenny Davis, the captain of that 72 team and getting to talk with him about this experience.
