As we approach the opening of the 2012 London Olympic's we had a wonderful opportunity to have a connection to the games. Maddi's great grandfather Harold Nelson was the team captain and flag bearer at the 1948 Olympic's where he competed as a long distance runner. His daughter (Maddi's Grandmother) kindly came in and gave a wonderful talk about his experience today. We learnt some great stories about the experiences of these Olympians, the last team to travel to the Olympics by boat.
