49 years ago

I've found an interesting thing.

I was talking about my family.

I knew that my uncle, my mother's younger brother was an Olympic Ice Hockey player.

I knew it but nobody remember what year's Olympic and where it was. (My uncle passed away.)

I googled!

Oh, my god! I found his name on the web. <1960 Squaw Valley Winter Games > He was 24 years old, 166 cm 72 kg. That Olympic took place at California!

Wait! 1960, Jim and his family went to see this Olympic. They stayed at grandpa's lodge at Lake Tahoe.

Jim's dad was a semi- pro ice hockey player from Canada. I am sure he wanted to watch Canadian Ice Hockey games! Canada beat Japan.....(Jim says they could not get the tickets to see the game.)

Wait! Jim's father had a 8 mm video and he taped that winter Olympic. Jim copied that film onto DVD.

We watched that DVD again. Yeah! He taped ice skating and skiing scenes but no indoor sports.

I can see baby Jim, 3.5 years old with his family in this video. They were in the Olympic stadium.

Wow! My uncle and Jim's family were in a same place 49 years ago.

By the way, that time I was 2 months old baby in Tokyo.
