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 know he was on the 1952 team. What people said was that he swam masters in the early 1970's and I could not find him in any meet results. I honestly don't know if he ever swam masters because he did not show up in any of the old meet results and Swim Master publications. To be on the list he has to be an Olympian and swam in masters. So that is why he is not on the list or is he? Alan Ford and Clarke Scholles swam in the 1976 LC Nationals and I know they are on your list.
