Purse Clasp, 1936 Rowing

Today I learned how to attach a magnetic purse clasp and also figured out how to line a crochet purse I made.

I also learned that the 1936 Men's rowing team learned after they won the Olympic bid, that they would have to finance their own passage. They were given a week to raise 5000 dollars. The people of Washington came through with the money in just two days, despite the fact that they had recently raised money to send the team to Poughkeepsie and Princeton for the national championships and the Olympic trials, respectively.
