Famous People

 Famous in our family.  One of our rowing grandaughters won a gold in the national competition.


Here she is.  Our rowing champ holding the cup high, resplendent in her bright yellow crocs and dark socks.  

That child always stands out.  One way or another you just can't miss her.  


The big shiny cup and her medal
You're Our Number One


Here's Poppi in the skiff, a few years younger


And the other half of the Famous Bitouni Sisters.
Nels has given up rowing to study in Athens but her cups and medals remain and fill up a few shelves in her bedroom

      They're both very athletic types. Don't know where they get it from. Not me for sure.
      Thanks

    Well done her! Having been a rower myself I know all about the rigorous training, etc. Unfortunately in my case the trophies always ended-up elsewhere.

      She does very rigorous training as you say but loves every bit of it. Medals and cups are just a bonus.

    Good on your granddaughters. F tells me that rowing is the best sport of all, but as it involves water I reserve judgment on that. xxx Mr T
