Who remembers Flo-Jo?
Florence Griffith Joyner is still considered the fastest woman of all time. She was the first woman to win 4 medals in a single Olympic, 3 golds and 1 silver in Seoul, Korea, She was called the Queen of Seoul and set records that haven't come close to being broken.
She was also a wonderful role model for young women and is honored here in Mission Viejo for her achievements and good works. She lived here after she married Al Joyner and died here at the age of 38, from an epileptic seizure. This park we visited this morning is dedicated to her memory and is very close to her former home.
Mission Viejo had a small part in the L.A. Olympics, hosting the bicycle races. We do have lots of hills!
