Dear Makis:

Andrew Athens, Council of Hellenes AbroadI would

 like to thank you for your recent lette

r advising me of your idea to create a permanent commemorative monument dedicated to the medal winners of the Olympic Games and a “Symposium” to honor these athletes in the original home of The Games in Ancient Olympia.

I congratulate you on developing this noble idea and am pleased to endorse your efforts to link the modern Olympic Games with hallowed traditions of the ancients to Honor those victors of the Games who bring us all honor through their healthy competition and display of athletic achievement in a peaceful world.

With my best wishes for your every success in this endeavor, I am,

Sincerely,
Andrew A. Athens
