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.

Could you please clarify where I have threatened to ban you?
People have asked about the about reposting deleted items, I responded to Rich’s post not one yours by saying I’ll get in touch with the moderators “and see if they wish to reverse this decision and repost the items and ban the posters” You were not referenced by name or alias. To my knowledge we have not banned or suspended forum privileges for not violating your forum rules and guidelines. So assuming you haven’t violated any of our rules, I don’t see why you would feel threatened.
Yes, I personally do take exception with your remarks about Gail I find them hollow and churlish; and it is unfortunate that you have chosen this public forum to slap her down. Gail’s question on the forum (“What Olympics did you "qualify" for and what country?”) is valid and her request for supporting documentation is what any good historian should do. And I support the great Gail is doing for UMSM. However when I act as a forum administrator, I attempt to place my personal bias aside and do my best to take action fairly.
