Obrigado – how to express your gratitude in Portuguese
I love the Summer Olympics and I love Brazil. The people are so fun, exotic and truly Beautiful … on the inside as well as the outside! I’m looking forward to the opening ceremonies. I’m a swimmer, so the swimming events are my deal.
Did you know we have Olympic Champion, 3 Gold metals and a Bronze living here in Dallas? Founder of the Dallas Aquatic Masters where I swim, real estate client and friend. I loved having R. E. open house at Jim and Diane’s home. To revel with the photos and the metals and the awesomeness of it all.
Go USA!
James Paul Montgomery (born January 24, 1955) is an American former competition swimmer, four-time Olympic medalist, and former world record-holder. Montgomery was the first man to break the 50-second barrier (49.99) in the 100-meter freestyle. He broke the record at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, where he won three gold medals and one bronze medal.
Montgomery achieved international attention at the first World Championships in 1973, where he won five gold medals in freestyle events. From Yugoslavia, Montgomery went to Indiana University, swam for Doc Counsilman for four years, with the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games taking place between his junior and senior years.
Montgomery founded the Masters swim program in 1981 and later renamed it the Lone Star Masters. In 1990, the name officially became Baylor/Lone Star Masters. He began teaching swim lessons in 2007, including a class to help adults get past their fear of water.
