London 1948 Olympic Games, Wembley
Top: Jim Mayger
Left to Right: Bill Mayger, Frank Mager, Don Payne.
Squatting: Mick Wayte ( School Record Holder for 100/220 yards).
Mick Wayte wrote to me from Edinburgh University in 1948, where he was
studying for an M.A., asking if any parents could put him up for the
duration of the Games. He stayed with us and very kindly brought a set of
tickets for me, so we both saw the athletics competitions.The Maygers,
who were all swimmers, also came to London to watch the swimming events, and
I spent a session at the Empire Pool, Wembly, with the Mayger family
watching that event.
