Casey Tibbs & Mark Schulze at Olympic Training Center, Otay Mesa, California - Photo by Patty Mooney Prior to the 2008 Beijing, China Olympiad, I had the opportunity to videotape Casey Tibbs, the Paralympian, at the Olympic Training Center in Otay Mesa. It's amazing how developed the area is now, as I remember shooting off bottle rockets there 30 years ago when it was just dirt, sagebrush and the occasional roving border patrol agent.
Casey was a very down-to-earth guy who spoke of his "disability" as an "opportunity." I enjoy working with such positive people. Casey at the time was about to head over to China for the Paralympics, and he was dedicated to working out as much as possible, while balancing a life with his family and his work in the Navy.
I later learned that he had won a gold medal in Beijing in the Men's 4 x 100 m relay as well as a bronze medal in the Long Jump.
