George's Diary
January 17, 2008, Mississauga, ON
I arrived at Mississauga City Hall and was greeted by the Castillo Family. Today was a long awaited day; the Torch was being carried in the memory of their son Manny Castillo. Mississauga Student Torch Champions and Rugby players Lawrence McGivern, Mark Kovacevic, Dylan McTavish & their coach Pete Mashinter with tears in their eyes were prepared to carry the Torch for their teammate and buddy Manny. As they made their way to the school Lorne Park Secondary School, they were joined by the entire Rugby team and they all chanted their teams song very loud. This was so emotional to witness. We all arrived at the school to a great barbecue and took a tour in school remembering this was all for Manny.
