SC Rewind: Picture Parade
This week's edition of Rewind is the regular monthly feature known as Picture Parade. This time the theme is tied to a very special day on the annual calendar which occurs this year on Sunday, May 12 and it is Mother's Day. Robert has displayed a number of old photographs that contain pictures of people who are mothers from harness racing families.
I would like to extend a very Happy Mother's Day to everyone in the Rewind audience on this special day. We all owe much to our own mother and also to many other great women who have been part of our extended families and thus had an effect on our upbringing and well being. I was privileged to have a wonderful mother who of course has long since departed but I thank her for her love and understanding and apologize for not paying closer attention to her words. To my wonderful wife I am forever indebted for her dedication to motherhood and also our daughters who are also mothers and have learned from her caring example.
#1 - Can you identify this person who is no longer with us but remembered as we observe Mother's Day?
#2 - This lady has played an ongoing role in our sport and is the mother of some pretty well known individuals. Can you name her?
#3 - This is a youthful picture of a lady that is no longer with us but is still represented by numerous family members, including her daughters. Who is she?
#4 - The lady on the far right passed away a number of years ago but she still has several children and grandchildren remaining. Who is she?
#5 - This one can't be too tough and we may have a two for one here. Who do we have?
#6 - This one goes back a very long way but I have a feeling many viewers will get it.
#7 - Can you name this lady who has been a part of the sport and a mother as well. Who is she?
#8 - Can you identify this well known mother from days past?
#9 - This gal has served the sport in many ways and perhaps most importantly as a mother. Who is she?
#10 - This lady made her way to a spot in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. She also was a mother. Can you identify her?
Quote For The Week: I recently read this quote included in an obituary and want to repeat it today. "Life does not come with a manual; it does come with a Mother."

Thanks to everyone who joined in on identifying the wonderful mothers connected with our sport. A special thank you to Hector for his well chosen words. I will have to be on the lookout for more "mother" pictures as my supply of unused ones has been nearly exhausted.
