>> can be found only in hiking the JMT.

>> sufferers on the JMT.

>> Brad is the 1984 Olympic Gold Medal winner in the double scull, 
>> tremendous athlete, great guy and author of several books.
>> I am the proud owner of ''Assault on Lake Casitas'' ( his struggle 
>> for the Gold Medal)  and  ''Walking  Towards Thunder'' (a JMT fiction).
>>
>> The following is what the experts are saying about ''Assault on Lake 
>> Casitas'' and some excerpts from the book.
>>
>> ''The best rowing book in print''
>> ''If you want to know what it takes to win a gold, read this''
>> ''By 1984, Brad Alan Lewis' determination to win an Olympic medal  
>> had taken over his life. His opportunity to compete at the 1980 
>> Moscow Olympics  was denied because of  President Carter's boycott, 
>> and he would be to old for the 1988 Games.  Only 1984 remained.''
>> ''Valerie yelled, stand up straight when they play the anthem.''
>> ''I stood so straight I almost fell over backwards.''
