This past Friday November 19th, I was sitting down at the Potholder restaurant getting breakfast and picked up the local Long Beach Press Telegram Sports Page. As I opened to the first page I found a little article about a family friend of ours, Louie Zamperini. I have met Louie at numerous U.S. Olympic reunions that my father John Nunn would invite me to as a kid. As I grew older I would have the pleasure of hearing more and more about Louie’s life-inspiring story. A story for the ages, one that will sure keep with me for the rest of my life. As we all approach Thanksgiving and the Holidays I just wanted to share this truly amazing story.
By the way.. I did give Louie a few rowing lessons 🙂
The Press Telegram had this to say about Louie Zamperini and the new book that was written about him by Laura Hillenbrand. You can find Louie’s other book ‘Devil at My Heels: A WW II Hero’s Epic Saga of Torment, Survival, and Forgiveness’ in book stores as well.
