Today on BPSN, we're highlighting a local athlete who will represent Wilmington, NC at next summer's Squirrel Olympics.Howard, what a look of determination on his face!
Well, Jim...he definitely looks like a contender!
You've got that right, Howard! We may be looking at the next gold medalist in the Tree Climb event!
That's it for this edition of BPSN. Stay tuned, as next time we get down and dirty with one of the best running backs in football! #1194368

Oh, I recognize this. We just had the squirrel olympics here in PA. First, they race to the top of a slanted tree, moving on in the competition until the tree is perfectly straight and greased. If I'm not mistaken, you've captured this year's runner up (pun intended). See you in the winner's circle, Tess. #8053197David Phalen October 20, 2009
