Our chests swelled with pride when windsurfer Gal Fridman won Israel’s first-ever gold medal in the 2004 summer Olympics. Right here in Florida, we have our own sports heroes who will be the subject for this exhibition - like JoAnn Mason Parker, who is a pockets billiards U.S. Open champion, Skip Bertman, who coached Miami Beach High School baseball team and NFL Miami Dolphin football player Ed Newman. http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/visitors/event_detail.asp?event_id=73817 http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/visitors/event_detail.asp?event_id=73888 (7/3/2008-11/15/2008) Photographer John Andersen showcases the natural beauty and explosive color that make the largest marine park in the National Park System a true national treasure.
