Dear Mr. Havadjias,
Thank
you for informing us about your plans to establish a commemorative memorial
dedicated to the winners of the Olympic Games and
a ‘Symposium’ meant to revive the spirit of the ancient Olympic
in Greece, their original home.
We are happy to endorse and applaud this idea which will connect the modern
games to their age long past and reinforce their importance by drawing attention
to the ancient Greek ideals that should still bold true today.
We wish you every success in your efforts.
Sincerely,
Maria Pantelia
