an inspiring story...

what makes Lockerbie,Scotland famous to the world??? actually:one bad,very bad event??? Pam Am 103 was blown up,over the town,on December 21,1988,killing everyone on board(270 people,including eleven on the ground)... why bring that up???,because Lockerbie is also famous for something very unique:in a town of 4,000,there are actually three Olympic medalists,all from Sochi,Russia... in the sport of curling,Lockerbie,Scotland is a curling power... David Murdoch,Anna Sloan,and Claire Hamilton all won Olympic medals-Murdoch won silver,Sloan and Hamilton bronze,and all three were coached by Marion Murdoch,David's mother,and as a side note:David's father,and sister Matt Murdoch,and Nancy Murdoch,were national champions for Scotland,and David and his brother,Neil won an European Curling Championship,for Scotland,in 2003,and David Murdoch won two more European Curling Championships,for Scotland,in 2007,and 2008...
