Snippet:
For decades, a tiny Olympic badge, bearing the five rings and the US shield, sat in a glass display cabinet in our home in Mooroolbark, in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, beside my mother’s navy-blue air-hostess hat. The cabinet is now in her lounge in Montrose. I always knew the badge was there.
