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.

But if she wore the same warm-up suit... with the same USA patch...and sat on the same deck with the team. ...I want to believe that she was an Olympian.
I think most of us would agree with this. But I certainly understand that these claims need to be verified. It's just too bad we don't have another '68 Olympian on here who could say "oh yeah, I remember her." I wonder if Gail Roper or Bill or anybody contacted any other '68 Olympians to help with the verification?
