THE OLYMPICS / WINTER GAMES AT ALBERTVILLE : NOTES
Led by his wife, Cindy, Herschel Walker’s fan club will be out in force to watch him compete today in the first two heats of the two-man bobsled.
Cindy Walker and some of her friends from Dallas plan to stand at Turn 5, wearing their new T-shirts beneath their parkas.
The T-shirts read in front: “Bo don’t know Diddly.” And in back: “Herschel knows snow.”
