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 have a nice photo of Rowdy from watching him win NCAAs in college. Unfortunately, it won't upload. Of course, who can be sure I was really at the meet?
You can scan it and upload it, provided it is your photo. Scanning a pix takes about 1 minute and is a good way to preserve old film photos, especially if you have a good scanner. There are many places that will also digitize old pix. This will prevent you from losing old pix and you can prove you were at the meet, if that's important to you.
Why would I change my name? I've never publicized it, others have. Plus, it wouldn't matter anyway, I would still have the same IP signature since I'd use the same computers at my home/office. Plus, even if I did, I couldn't stop myself from tormenting the self-proclaimed Stud and my cover would be instantly blown.

No kidding.
My scanner is in the closet.
Let us not forget our Special Olympians, like Stud and Smith.
Well, My mother said I was special...

I heard that Mark Spitz beat some of his old times during his comeback! Although he got faster it was not quite fast enough for qualifying for the Olympics again.
