Connecticut, USA...  Frederick Winters, St. Louis 1904.  Innovations at the St. Louis 1904 Olympic Games included the awarding of gold, silver and bronze medals for first, second and third place.  Winters of the U.S. won silver in the newly introduced Dumbbells contest, which involved nine lifting events, followed by a show of strength of the competitor's choice.  Winters opted to perform six one-arm push-ups while carrying 105 pounds on his back!  Wow!  And he only came in 2nd place - who was the Superman who took the gold?

Snowy Card from Belgium

Well, my mailbox is toast.  The snow plow came through on our road and demolished it with the blade.  I found this poor card in the snow!  Seems fairly intact though.  Can't say the same for the mailbox, which is now currently leaning on the paper box for support.  :(

This is card showing the Mardasson Memorial (building behind the statue) which is a tribute to American soldiers who died during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 in the south of Belgium.
