STC gives Tall Gold Medal Winner Honorary Membership in our club
August 27, 2008

Stephanie Brown Trafton, a resident of Galt, was honored on August 27, 2008 with a homecoming parade and reception, including free corn dogs and fireworks. Stephanie won a gold medal in the discus in the recent Beijing Olympics. No American woman has won gold in the sport since 1932. At least one thousand people braved the summer heat to cheer her on.  Harry Leman, our current club president, was on the program and gave Stephanie and her husband (both around 6'4" tall) honorary memberships in our club and our "Altitude is Everything" club t-shirts.  We hope that they will join us at one of our events once things are back to normal for them.  From here, Stephanie is off to Europe for more events and has plans to be on the Oprah Winfrey TV show.  Congratulations Stephanie!  You make us all proud to be tall!!
