Thank you, Sharron. The story fell in my lap. I've thought a lot about Luz and the mental conflicts he must have faced during his short life. These stories are all we have left. I would love to have met him. In 2022 his family sold his silver medal at auction for $488,583.
At first, I was annoyed that the family had sold the medal. After reflection, it made more sense. The sale brought Luz's story back into the spotlight. That's worthy.
Great story Heather! Who knew?
Exactly!
I found this so interesting, Heather. I knew none of this history. I look forward to part 2! Thanks for furthering my education! Great photos, too!

Wow! It was a real treasure in what it signified.
