Ian Millar's TENTH Olympics Appearance

 Oh. My. Gosh.  I was sitting here, watching the Olympic Parade of Nations walk into the stadium in London...  The country of Canada was announced, and, walking in the first row of competitors behind the flag carrier, I recognized someone.  Someone who's hand I have shaken on three occasions...  Some who is quite tall (to me, anyway), and has grey hair...  Someone who is 65 years old.  I thought he had retired and was training other riders and young horses.  I am speaking of Ian Millar of Perth, Ontario.  My first question was, where's Big Ben?   Unfortunately, that great jumper is no more...  but here is Ian Millar, appearing in his
tenth set of Olympic Games.  The man is incredible!  Go, Ian!
