Books: Moon Tides: Book Reviews: Dr. Sammy Lee

 

“Jeju grannies show the spirit of never, ever giving up in their pursuit of being the best that they could possibly be in their chosen life's field. I like to think that I must have inherited that spirit during my earlier sports career.” 

Sammy Lee, M.D., First Asian American to win the Gold Medal for the United States in diving at the 1948 Olympics.
