I sat roughly in the middle of the table (was that a long table OR WHAT?) directly across from Roland Della Santa. I don't remember who was sitting on either side of me <grin>. Roland is the most entertaining story teller I've ever met and tells hilarious off color jokes to boot. I spent most of dinner asking him questions about growing up in the Italian community in Reno (I think Roland is 60, almost as old as me). And of course Greg Lemond has stated in the past that Roland is the only reason Greg became a bike racer! What a great guy!!!
