Behind Every Strong Man....
There is a good, patient, smart woman...that would be me, Silvia, Dee's silent partner. I have watched my husband's goal materialize from conception to execution, and let me tell you I have never seen Dee as dedicated and focused as he has been over the past year. He has trained relentlessly and with a lot of sacrifice, yet, always making time for his family. I know I married a good man...but to see his heart and drive has made Melia and myself proud.
He has taught us that it's not always about getting what you want...it's how you get there. Hard work, passion and integrity. His Olympic dream may not have come to fruition but his journey, in my and Melia's eyes, have left Dee standing on the number 1 podium. To all of you who have sponsored, helped, and encouraged Dee, I personally thank you, and stay tuned... chapter two is not far behind.

Isn't that Sweet!
Silvia,
I often thought of what your tempermennt was while Dee was in full flight. It is obvious with you at his side and supporting Dee with your encouragement is PRICELESS. You are a diamond in the ruff. It encourages me that there are some real women out there such as yourself, but far and few between.
Thanks for supporting Dee and setting an example for what a marriage is supposed to be like...
I hope to meet the whole gang some day and meet all of you in person.
Dee it was great sliding with you in Park City, Utah - Olympic Park.....I will never forget.
