ANSONIA - Marie Young loves to watch her 9-year-old granddaughter, Taylor, swim. She makes it to most of the meets during the six-month long season, and sometimes finds herself overcome by what she sees.
"Sometimes I have tears in my eyes. I can't help it," she said.
"I love to watch her."
Taylor Whalley is a Special Olympics athlete, one of 49 from the area honored Monday at a banquet at John J. Sullivan's restaurant in Ansonia. |
