How many medals, trophies, do you have?
When you win or come second or third you get awarded Medals trophies, ribbons etc. You also have memories that go along with these.
Do you keep them displayed or hidden away?
I had the tropies displayed in our living room. All of the medals were hidden away. In 1978 we had a break in and all the trophies, medals and of course other things were stolen.
But I still have my memories of my swims even though I have no visual touching and feeling. No one has stolen my memories yet.

One of the great things that has happened for swimmers is the internet.
I could search all day for my swims and never find the results of a swim meet from the 50s.
I had 7 Gold medals in the Ontario Championships at a one day swim meet.
The only place I can find the results is in the Archives at the Hamilton Spectator. Next time I go there I will pull the files.
I will have to look at a couple of years of Monday newspaper sport pages.
