Check out the Guyana team with their different mix and match uniforms and their enthusiasm

 

I had no idea Guyana had an Olympic team until some white lady introduced me to her assistant who was apparently on the team at the same time. She was trying to show how pro-Guyanese she was. I look at this poor lady like she was an idiot. Wasting my time to introduce me to a Guyana Olympic hungry belly

Yes T, Martin Dias in weight lifting I believe it was in Mexico. Come on T you must have stamps of him, I do, they are triangle shaped.

I only collect BG satmps. If he has a stamp dedicated to him it would be a Guyana stamp. I don't collect those.

 Actually, he did not get a medal in the Olympics but did first place finish in the '63 Pan Am games.

Most of my stamps are also from the past I acquired them from an old Dutch fella who I called Uncle as I grew up with the he and his lady.

I now have to try and locate where I hid my collection.
