The Winter Special Olympics Comes to Georgetown
On another very busy Saturday for the Williamson County Sun, my cameras and I visited Mel’s Lone Star Lanes, in Georgetown. The occasion was the bowling competition for the statewide Special Olympics Winter Games. My main focus was on a Georgetown team, the Cen-Tex Rockets, but included in this post is the final photo, a father (and coach) giving encouragement to his son before taking another turn on the lanes. Another image, next to the last one, demonstrates another dad’s love and support for his son. And don’t forget volunteers, like the young lady helping a bowler through a tough time. Or John (in yellow jacket with two Rocket team members), a guy who gives his time as a volunteer coach for the team. It’s not just about the game.
Hi Andy, these are such great pictures and the article in the Sun was awesome! It was a pleasure meeting you and THANK YOU for taking the time to be with our athletes. :o)

Good morning, Dawn. My sincere apologies for the late reply to your wonderful note. Any opportunity I get to document these amazing athletes, and their families, is a blessing. Best wishes to your family!
