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.

I hate to say this Gail but Jane could be wrongYes, Jane could have forgotten it was almost 40 years ago.
But as others have pointed out, this has definitely piqued the interest and research juices of many of us.
Including me… In rooting around on the USA Swimming web site, I ran across another listing of US Olympians that included the athletes, alternates, coaches, trainers, committee members and others. A link is attached. I don’t know what name Donna swam under in ’68, but hopefully it is on this list. I would love to help bring this to closure.

But the bigger question…so George did you do the honorable thing and marry Nurse Chuckie?
