I’ve known the Harlow family for almost 30 years, and I will always have fond memories of the years I spent as a youth at their home. Malibu was a very different place in the 1970s, and for a kid, a wonderful place to get into trouble, but I was lucky to meet the Harlows through Rob LeMond’s Aquatics program. Because of the kindness and generosity of the Harlow family, and Rob LeMond, I was fortunate to find a community of friends that helped me mature into adulthood. I will soon be a father for the first time, and I hope that my son will be as blessed to know people as wonderful as John, Emily, Brian, and Richard Harlow. For that, I will always owe the Harlows, and my heart goes out to the Harlow family in their time of grief.
