I am looking for a list of Olympian Masters and what Olympics and events they particpated in. If you have such a list or know where one is, please let me know. Individual anecdotes are OK too.
Background:
I want to write to "Splash" magazine and ask them to feature some of the people on such a list when they write about great swimmers. I'm tired of reading (and having my kids read) about so-and-so great swimmer, who got to the Olympics, did great, and now swimming is behind them (i.e. they don't swim anymore). On the "mission statement" of Splash, they give lip service to a lifelong involvement with swimming, but they never seem to come up with an example of such a person.

Frank.....thanks for the link but the point I was making is that USMS should look into finding away to both honor and acknowledge those athletes who are now a part of this organization.
Ms. Fox...according to Sam Bill Barrett is alive and swimming with Brophy here in AZ. I've already started trying to hunt him down as he would be an invaluable asset on our 45+ medley relay!
Fort...as usual I'm always the last to know these things! Somehow can't imagine any fireworks not having Geek involved...or one of the many anonymous Ion's that are floating around here!
