The highlight of the show for me (other than the Wagner) was the Ellery Clark collection. For those who don't know the name, Ellery is the athlete who spearheaded the US sending a team to the 1st Olympic Games in 1896. It is possible that had he not stepped up, the Olympic movement may have flopped without US participation. The success of the US team created publicity in the US for the Olympics and ensured full US participation for future Olympics.
