Willie Stewart was working construction in the Watergate Building in Washington, D.C. not long after graduating from high school.

Robin Williams and CAF – Babbittville

Articles, Challenged Athletes Foundation, Friends and NeighborsBy Bob BabbittAugust 14, 2014

Recently, a friend sent me a link to a piece of video from what we think was Robin William’s first ever triathlon experience at the Malibu Triathlon in 1997 where he rode the bike on a relay team with two-time Ironman champion and great friend Scott Tinley.
