Thanks to everyone involved in the Ft. Lauderdale Nationals. I had a great time and met some exceptional people. I especially want to thank Doug Malcolm for the competition in the adjacent lane. It looks like (from USMS data) you have not competed for quite a while and had a great meet! I had not competed for over 20 years when I entered the 2001 Nat's at Santa Clara and have done pretty well for the past few years. Doug exemplifies what our sport should be all about; a true competitor who brings out the best in someone like me who may not have accomplished the standards acheived in Ft. Lauderdale without someone like him next to me. I never got a chance to thank you so I am doing so now. Keep up the good work!
I would also like to congradulate John Blank for being the first male competitor over 45 to break one minute in the 100 yard breaststroke; a great accomplishment! I have never broken a minute in that event and am full of envy.

Yes, Mark was entertaining indeed. Then again, being a self proclaimed Metrosexual, creativity flows naturally from Mark.
Just remember this Mr. Gill...... The "Good" and The "Evil" are watching your every move. We are researching your past, digging up dirt on you every day. What's worse, Mrs. "Evil" is equally interested in your blossoming career as an announcer.
Note: she is not as forgiving as her sasquatch husband.
