and opened a store, Meretsky
Furniture.
Meretsky continued to
coach basketball at various
levels. He led Windsor's
Jewish Community Center to
an Ontario championship. He
also coached Gordon
McGregor High School to pro-
vincial honors. Since selling
his store in 1980, Meretsky
has wintered in Florida, so he
no longer coaches.
He does, however, still
receive recognition for his
Olympic achievement.
Among the many honors the
team received was induction
into the Canadian Basketball
Hall of Fame in 1981.
Ironically, at the time of the
induction, he had not yet
received his silver medal.
Meretsky explained that the
Olympic Committee only
made eight silver medals for
the 14-man basketball squad,
so he and five teammates
were given bronze medals.

In 1982 Meretsky's children
- Ross, Warren and Lynn -
had a duplicate silver medal
made. They presented their
father with his medal on his
70th birthday.
Today, 55 years after his
Olympic success, Meretsky
says he is reminded of the
Games more often- than he
was in the '30s. And he re-
mains justifiably proud. Par-
ticipating in the Olympics,
Meretsky says, was "a great
honor. Imagine representing
Canada at the Olympic
Games. Not too many people
reach that status." ❑
