Wow! Way to go Canada’s “Mighty Mouse” the one and only Elaine Tanner the original pioneer who paved the way for Canadian Swimming for other greats to follow. Even with tremendous odds and hurdles thrown in your way and during the 1968 Olympics you still made history being the first ever Canadian women to medal in swimming (3) which was another first. What a great inspiring letter and tribute to Canada and swimming.. I am so proud of you with what you have gone through all these years. You have now found the real “Gold medal” in Life. You are an inspiration to not just athletes but anyone that has struggled with Life’s up’s and downs. Love always your partner and friend John
