    I remember my grandfather Haraldd telling the story of how he attended the opening ceremony at the 1912 Stockholm games, together with his father, J F Jansson, a local politician from Tungelsta. It is a beautiful stadium.

    Hi!

    I would like to include this photo in my "Olympics" Data Lifeboat. A Data Lifeboat is an archival format for Flickr photos.

    Would that be OK with you?
    Thanks!

    Whoa! What an incredible image. I am SO glad to see that Black women worked on aircraft, too. I love her nail polish, and her ring. I'd LOVE to know her name, if she's still alive. This is such an outstanding portrait!
  • Nicola Hunt said:

    Okay, they never taught us that black women also worked as Rosie. What a crime of omission! So cool to see this.
