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.

O good grief, give it a rest already, just having a bit of fun, it's not the end of the world or worthy of such angst. But, I'm happy you at least quoted someone correctly in this thread (me in this case).
Lighten up about this forum, just a bit. We're just having fun and you yourself have said repeatedly how much you enjoy a good round of smack-talk. Time to practice what you preach.
Gail is doing her job as a historian. Donna is doing her job in proving her point. It's not armageddon or Orwellian. I'm not sure we could consider Gail to be a good historian if she relaxed standards for friends on this forum.
I hope everyone has fun at the swim meet today.
Oh good grief, that's really rich, coming from you. Maybe you should practice what you preach.
I stand by my statements regarding Gail. The clear import of her posts was to call Donna a liar, and they were unnecessary and inappropriate where they were made.
But I'm glad you posted bright and early on a controversial thread just to scold me yet again, tell me how to behave, and to wish us well at our meet. Much fun was had by all, as usual.
I noticed the same omissions that Michigan Husker did.
