In case you wonder what happened to that Olympic sweater …
It turns out my mother kept it. She actually created it herself for the Olympic Games of Calgary 1988 – also it is now 30 years old. When I went to Lillehammer in February 1994 she changed the back.
Surprise is I still fit in, surely have grown two sizes I think. We took a few photographs yesterday at my parent’s place.
Olympic sweater looks really great on you. Netty. Nice that your mother kept it after all these years. Mothers are great for things like that. I know you must be surprised that you could still fit into it. Thanks for the recent photo of you in it. Hoping you are feeling as well as you can be. Thanking you for all your dedication towards the reporting of Royal matters over the years that I have been following you. Kindest regards

Netty, Thanks for sharing a current picture of yourself in your Olympic sweater. I love that it still fits!

So glad you are feeling well enough to give us these fun bits of personal history, look forward to hearing more from you. Best Wishes. Carol Nichols
