I value your posts Cynthia, I always did, from your experience at Mission Viejo as an age-group swimmer (who probably competed with Brian Goodell and Casey Converse), to a passion for Olympic sports, for which I saw in one of your recent posts here that you didn't realize I also have. As for an interest in ancient history, people from Europe like me, we do get intensive education in ancient history, in classical music and arts, including painting, literature, and sculpure. As for me being an "...average Joe..." in swimming, ex age-group swimmers aside but considering late starters, I am better than an "...average Joe...". Keep up the good posts, with intelligent information for all of us.
