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'm just going to add my :2cents: which I'm sure will be shared by an overwhelming majority of Forumites.
Having known you -solely- through your postings and only since I joined USMS last April ('07), I have come to kinda' know the person between (or behind) the lines.
I would accept any claim you (or people of similar character) care to make, as fact, in spite of the absence of documentary evidence.
I don't even like the word "claim" in this context because it hints of "allegation" but I'm leaving it and re-phrasing my statement.
I would accept any statement you (or people.......etc........) etc.....
