1996 SUMMER OLYMPIC SWIMMER WHITNEY METZLER MAKES AN APPEARANCE @ THE 2017 DALLASTOWN, PA HALLOWEEN PARADE!

TONIGHT, MY DAUGHTERS AND I ATTENDED OUR ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARADE!  A FRIEND OF MINE IS RUNNING FOR RE ELECTION FOR A LOCAL JUDGESHIP!   LOCAL POLITICIANS WERE PART OF THE PARADE!   I NOTICED ONE OF THE AIDES AS FORMER OLYMPIC SWIMMER WHITNEY METZLER!  SHE COMPETED IN THE 1996 SUMMER OLYMPICS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA!  SHE PLACED EIGHTH IN THE WOMEN'S 400 METER INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY!  SHE CONTINUED HER SWIMMING CAREER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!  THE 39 YEAR OLD IS CURRENTLY AN ATTORNEY FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!  I DID NOT BRING A SHARPIE TO THE PARADE (NOT EXPECTING AUTOGRAPHS), HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO SNAG A PHOTO WITH WHITNEY!  I REMEMBER I WAS WORKING DURING HER RACE AND WENT TO THE BREAK ROOM TO WATCH WITH A COLLEAGUE!  WE WERE DISAPPOINTED SHE DID NOT WIN A MEDAL, HOWEVER TO ACHIEVE THAT LEVEL OF SUCCESS IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT!  SHE IS A GRADUATE OF DALLASTOWN AREA HIGH SCHOOL IN DALLASTOWN, PA!
