1964 Olympics ...

This is a photo of my Dad (on the left) with his team mates after winning a bronze medal in the 4 x 100m medley relay at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He was only 16, and does look so much younger then the others. 

Such a difference to the current Olympic athletes and the level of support they receive. I remember reading his diaries when he was training ..... swimming laps in the outdoor pool at some ungodly pre-dawn hour, then working as an intern in a solicitors office during the day, then back to the pool in the afternoon, then studying his law degree by correspondence at night. I was exhausted just reading the entries.
