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.

... it's hollow and maybe churlish to slap down a dissenter when only you have what transpired.I guess I need more clarification; who slapped down whom? Were you speaking of my post “…in reviewing deleted postings I found absolutely NO posting in which Gail called Donna or anyone else a "liar".” in response to the post “…She was jumped on and called a "liar" before she had any chance to defend herself privately.”? Or is there post to which you are referring?
And as for deleting the posts on Fat Swimmers; at the time, the moderators choose to delete the posts and stop the thread instead of suspending or banning the members. I’ll get in touch with the other moderators and see if they wish to reverse this decision and repost the items and ban the posters
