The NPR radio station program "Only a Game" with Bill Littlefield is broadcasting a piece on select New England Masters and the 2002 NE SCY Championship held last weekend at Harvard's Blodgett Pool.
The program can be heard in the Boston area on public station WBUR 90.9
A short segment aired this morning just before 8:00 am. It featured a profile of NEM swimmer Dr. Henry Southall and his performance at last weekend's championship. A full feature will run locally tomorrow from 8-9:00 am and then again from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
"Only a Game" is also carried on some 140 public radio stations across the country. For more information go to our special meet website at: www.swimindex.com/.../
I know that they rebroadcast it later in the day on Saturday here in Boston.
However, you can hear it if you visit their website. Go to:

You'll see that they have a feature on Henry Southall (the piece is listed under features). This was broadcast on Friday morning.
The Saturday program here in Boston featured stories on Tracy Grili (long-time NEM member and USMS Executive Secretary) and Jim Edwards (even longer-time NEM) who returned somewhat jet-lagged a bedecked with gold medals from Worlds to swim in our meet.
By the way, the NE meet drew 670 people. The Colonies Zone meet has 420 people and I hear that Pacific Masters meet may not draw much more than 700. So we are living up to our reputation for putting on the largest regional championshihp meet east of California.
