Go Zach Bell Go! Your Grandma is pulling for you!!!
(Subtitle - Thank you P&G Company!)
This is
the 2012 Olympic Week in our home and no one is more tuned in than Marion
Lincoln (some of her friend’s out west know her as Nell Lincoln).
Marion is
now 91 Years and 6 Months old, heading quickly toward 92 and still going. She may have a little problem hitting the
right button on the TV Cable machine but she still gets it.
But why
would this rather old lady have much to do with the Olympics?
Well the
interest is basically in one young man named Zach Bell. Zach is her grandson and she follows
everything that he does. Each month she
gets to the local Chapter’s store to go through all cycling magazine to see which
one Zach might be in. And a number of
the big magazines do write stories about Zach’s adventures on his bicycle
around the world. He is really good at
what he does.
Marion
has been active over the years. As a
young lady she was a very good baseball player. During World War 2 she was
among other gals that played a very high standard of baseball locally in
southern Saskatchewan. From her group of players the Big Wigs in the USA
scouted the ladies to play in The
All-American Baseball League centered out of Chicago.
She
laughed when she watched the movie “A League of Their Own”, a story that was
loosely based the real league of players that Wrigley was involved in starting
to keep baseball alive during the war.
Her
grandson Zach Bell will be racing this weekend, Saturday and Sunday – August 4
& 5 in the new “Men’s Omnium” in London, England. (This part of the Olympics
actually starts on Thursday.)
You can
read about Zach’s climb to this position in the Toronto Star’s article of August
1, 2012 (published July 31, 2012)– under the title of London 2012. You can read the article by Paul Hunter at
this Link – Zach
Bell – London 2012
Zach is
very good – saying that BTW – as I am his uncle and Marion is my mom.
Zach’s
mom is Karen – my youngest sister. Karen lives in Whitehorse, Yukon – an awfully
long ways from London, England.
P&G’s part in our
family...
Now if
you watch the Olympics on TV you will see that a Major advertisers and sponsor
is the P&G Company – that is the Proctor and Gamble Company. They have this wonderfully brilliant ad that
shows athletes all in a practice and then a ready stance for their Olympic
event. You will see as you watch the ad that the characters are older people
that don’t really fit the groove of the young Olympians… then it suddenly transitions
to show the younger Olympian that looks like the older version… it is the
athlete’s dad or mom. I couldn’t find
the link for that Video on YouTube yet… but here are the others that you may
have seen as well

The P&G
(Proctor and Gamble) Company fits into our family as well.
P&G
gave my little sister a good boost for her trip to London, England.
P&G
is a family company that puts their dollars behind and into people that need
help and that they appreciate.
Way to go
P&G!!! Thank you on behalf of our family and especially on behalf of Marion
Lincoln, Zach Bell’s grandmother.
This
weekend my mom will be glued to the TV as her grandson Zach tries his hardest
to win at the Olympics.
There is
another small excitement too for Zach and his wife Rebecca… and for my
mom. Not long after the Olympics are
over for 2012, a “Little Bell” will arrive to change Zach and Rebecca’s life
for ever. Another generation of
Olympians will arrive soon.
To say
that Marion Lincoln is pretty excited to have another Great Grandchild coming
soon – is an under statement.
Finally I
want to say – WAY TO GO ZACH BELL – YOUR GRANDMA LINCOLN IS PULLING FOR
YOU. SHE KNOWS YOU ARE A WINNER!
