     . My cousin regularly swims in the bay in San Francisco, and has done so for over 30 years. In the late 1980s, she decided to check with the Channel Swimming Association to see if any U.S. Women's team had ever swam the English Channel. The answer was no. My cousin decided to organize such a team, and recruited 3 of her friends/fellow club members to join her. They became the first U.S. Women's team to complete a swim of the English Channel. Either before or after the swim (can't remember which) my cousin and her teammates were being interviewed on a radio show. I happened to be tuned to that station at my office at that moment, and was able to record the show. When I uncover that recording, I'm looking forward to sending it to my little cousin (her daughter) to drive home even more the ideal that 'my mom can do anything/I can do anything' (I just want to  . My cousin definitely does NOT need the help. I don't think she could possibly be a better example for her daughter  ). While I was growing up, the same family lived in the house below us on the hill. The dad had been valedictorian of his class at MIT, and owned an engineering firm. My classmate was the third of his four sons, but probably most embodied his father's mindset.....he was voted 'Most
Likely to Succeed' in our class, and his senior quote was "I think I can, I think I can" - The Little Engine That Could.

Wow as I understand it the SFB makes the Channel look like a pool!
