Guest Jim Blanchard Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The thing that amazes me about him Norman is his zest for life and what he does on a day to day basis every day.

Incredible man and I am privileged to know him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely right, Jim. You feel as though he could get on a bike now and still win the World Championship! Like you I also feel it a privilege to know him. Apart from his "zest for life" he is such a gentleman, very kind, modest and thoughtful and always willing and ready to talk.
