We recently saw Chariots of Fire for the umpteenth time, Harold Abrahams, one of the main characters, won the gold in the 100 meters at the Paris(1924) Olympics. Years later he was to become the timer for Roger Bannister's signal run.<br />Cheers<br />Lou and PhyllisLou and Phyllis LaBorwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577185553749059448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778677550717681224.post-84256081907680576792009-08-17T03:48:13.404-04:002009-08-17T03:48:13.404-04:00Fantastic stuff, Mark, and many congratulations :)...Fantastic stuff, Mark, and many congratulations :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778677550717681224.post-46213224402035727952009-08-14T13:28:52.415-04:002009-08-14T13:28:52.415-04:00Thank you, John and David.

He wouldn't have caught me until the end of the turn, I think.

Okay - the adrenaline had taken over! But that last lap: That was a stormer!<br /><br />Tremendous to put the environs into the story too.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful when you fulful an ambition?Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
