I noticed in the papers the last few days that the Sharks are still hanging around the beach in Chatham (Cape Cod) and I have a theory.........They may have wished to come to the North Shore but they changed their mind when they heard "The Kim" was in our local waters....who is that you ask ?
Probably the toughest guy I know......Kim Garabino is a probation officer at Lynn District Court and one of his responsibilities is serving arrest warrants on the "bad guys"......and guess what....he loves his job.
I have known him for years and I have observed him at various gyms ......He can throw the weights around.....do marathons.....you name it ......He loves it.His laugh, enthusiasm, and positive attitude are infectious.....
He was at the Marblehead-Swampscott Y twice this week and you may have caught the story about him in the Lynn Item.......
In March,2008 he got serious about swimming......and he recently completed the 8 mile 100 year old swimming race from Boston Light to Carson Beach, South Boston.The water temp. was 58 degrees and wet suits are not allowed......He told me the jump into the water from a boat was numbing......but he was focused on finishing what he started........of course he did.......
He said the only thing that concerned him was that his childhood friends from the "Highlands" of Lynn who were driving his support boat and were suppose to be giving him navigational help would actually make it through Boston Harbor...........without Coast Guard assistance !
Kim had no worry of Sharks.........and for their sake lucky they stayed away.........The "Good Guy" won again......with his DRIVE AND DETERMINATION.....
