My dad was a green card holder for 30+ years and he earned his citizenship when he was about 72 years old.

In 1984 Dan Blatnick won the first Olympic medal for the U.S. in freestyle wrestling in YEARS.

The next morning the media quoted Blatnick as saying, "Nothing is impossible, the impossible just takes longer".

I never thought my dad was a fatalist.
But, man, he was optomistic.
