Touching post. Deeply emotional to me. I am dissapointed that I could not make it this year to visit and help my ISHOF family. But the photos helped me “travel” and be somehow over there. Congratulations to the 2019 honorees and award recipients. Congratulations to the unsung heroes of the Mecca of Aquatics.
