Barbara L Frank
I'm going to give you a little Winter Olympic History of my experiences as a child watching the Winter Olympic Games with my family. I'll also give you some information about what winter was like for my family. This will be interspersed with facts I've gleaned from Wikipedia. Both the Summer and Winter Olympics were an integral part of my growing up. We watched all sports and especially the Olympics.
