The President's Cup
8 March 1919 Ethel Carrett aged 14 Seafolly eat your heart out - this is what a cozzie should look like! And I think this is where I get my knees from :) Here is my Gran - my paternal grandmother - looking a bit chuffed having just won the President's cup. This is a copy of the original. I think I did find the original but it was all chopped up... but it did have written on the back in my grandmother's handwriting "The President's Cup - one hundred yards to one mile swimming." Gran grew up in Parsley Bay, Sydney. She was the second eldest of seven children. The photo is dedicated to Millie - her older sister - aka Dorothy Mildred. Gran outlived all her siblings by a country mile. She won that race too. Rene, my great Aunt, died in 1988. My Gran died in 1996. Ethel was a bit on the short side - another reason I think I am a bit on the short side. She made up for it with big hats though - bless. We don...
