This is how I have recognized my father John Secord since I was born with the moustache!!! This picture is a close up from another picture I will post where is with some Canadian Olympians.
This picture was taken at the ground breaking ceremony for the Olympic Spirit Museum which was created in the early 2000s. Toronto, Ontario was making a bid to host the Olympics. Bruny Surin - Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist 4x100m Relay Race, Marnie McBean - Canadian 3-time Olympic Gold Medalist in Coxless Pairs, Eights Events, Double Skulls, Bronze Medalist in Quadruple Skulls, Cheryl Pounder - Canadian 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist in Women's Hockey, Chris Harnett - Canadian Olympic Silver Medalist, 2-time Bronze Medalist in Cycling where there for the ground breaking ceremony and Masterline Molds made the rubber molds for the tiles. I was in the back making the stone for their hand impressions while the speeches resinated through the air and when they were ready and the stone was firm enough, they placed their hands in for the impressions to be made.
This is Steve Nash. He had his hand impressions made later. Masterline Molds helped make his tile too. I enjoyed that afternoon at the Olympic Spirit Museum, which was open and holding a press conference for Steve Nash who was in the city working on a Canadian basketball project for kids in the Toronto Community. I know the Museum closed and Rogers Communications purchased the build that was renovated into studios for City TV and Omni TV in 2009.
