Duff Gibson ~ 2006 Gold Medalist

We cannot let the 2010 Olympics go by without being reminded of our favorite Olympic Gold Winner. Growing up, Duff Gibson spent many of his holidays across the street from us in Cayuga, Ontario. His Grandparents, Mary and Gerry Duff were our friends and neighbours.

"Duffy," as we know him, remains the oldest gold medalist in an individual event in winter Olympic history. He won the gold medal in the men's skeleton race in 2006 in Torino at the age of 39.

Previously winning two world championship medals: gold in 2004 in Germany and bronze in 2005 in Calgary, Canada.

Duffy, you make us extremely proud.

A world in a Grain of Sand

Your Smile for Today ~

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wildflower:
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

~ William Blake, English poet (1757 - 1827)

This spectacular landscape of the city of Toronto at dawn is one in a series on display in the Neat Little Bookshop.
