Bringing Home the Gold
Parade and Tributes Honor Marblehead's Paralympians
In early September, in the waters off China, Marbleheader Maureen McKinnon-Tucker won a gold medal in the 2008 Paralympic Sailing Competition. The Paralympics are the Olympics for disabled athletes. Maureen McKinnon-Tucker and her teammate, Nick Scandone of California, are the first US Paralympic sailors to win gold medals, and Maureen is the first woman Paralympic sailor worldwide to win the gold. On September 20, Marblehead held a parade honoring Maureen's achievement and acknowledging fellow Paralympic sailor and Marbleheader, Tim Angle.
Congratulations Parakympians!.
