No, the last Athens Olympics. When I say they have medals, they are referring to sponsored athletes that medaled. The trophy room is full of various medals and trophies but technically the medalists own their own medals. I don't know how many are in the room, but any that are there were donated. They have sponsored athletes since the first Athenian Olympics in 1896, I think it was. So the medal count goes back to then. When we were talking about this I checked the NYAC website but count not find a specific run-down. How many, by whom, et cetera. It's probably in the clubmember's book but I don't know where that is. The rooms in the AC were upgraded perhaps 5 years ago. So depending on when Pete was there they may be better than they were. ---- I used to trade on Exchange Place, the street next to the NYSE. The NYSE is bounded by Wall, Broad, Exchange and some alley whose name I've forgotten. I was in a building just off Broad. Left there around the summer of 1993 or 1994; so the rest of the street names are long forgotten. If you are planning on coming to town give me a shout ahead of time. I probably can hook up hockey or baseball tickets. At the least we could meet up in Manhattan. I belong to a car club downtown. Maybe I could borrow a screamer and we'll take it to Jersey for a run.
