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 do have him on my list with a note "swam masters in the earlyl 70"s", I think I got that from your list. I havn't been able to document any swims, but he could have just registered and worked out with a masters team. Ron is difficult to find and he did not show up at the 52 team reunion. I will work on this.
