When I did a search on my flickr page for "great" this is the only pic that came up so I figured I'd share it.
In the upper left hand corner you've got me and dad. He was pretty great. Upper right hand is my dad again with one of the horses at OBS. The bottom left hand corner is my grandmother (dad's mom) with me and my cousin (I'm the younger one). She was an amazing woman, born in 1905, and she went through a lot of stuff - pretty great, I think. The bottom right hand picture is four generations of the Chamberlain women - though none of us carry that name. That's me, my mom, her mom, and her mom's mom, my Great-Grandmother.
I've included this picture of Man O' War because he was my favorite of the racing giants (and since someone already brought of Secretariat). He won 20 of 21 starts and was retired in 1921 with career earnings of $249,465.00. Legend has it that when a spectator saw him in action he asked the groom, "Who's he by?" to which the groom replied, "He's by hisself and there ain't nobody gonna get near him".
