Newspaper story on a masters team

Kirk: Thanks for the article. I remember *** Fetters and I remember when he started at Michigan State. He was the Assistant Coach to Charles McCaffree and I think he became the head coach in either 1967 or 1968. Michigan State had there best teams in those years. I believe Clark Scholes in the only swimmer from MSU inducted into the Hall of Fame and I am surprised that Ken Walsh has not been inducted yet. He was a World Record Holder in both Short Course and Long Course and received a silver medal behind Michael Wenden in the 1968 Olympics in the 100 Meter Free. I also remember ***'s sons, John, Paul, and Pete. I competed against John and Paul in the old AAU days. In 2003, I saw Paul Fetters for the first time in years at the 2003 USMS Long Course Championships at Rutgers. He swam real well and won several events in the 50-54 age group. I believe he is swimming in the DC area and swam for a team called DC Parks and Rec. I knew about *** Fetters coaching in South Carolina because my Michigan Masters teamate from 6 years ago (Eric Nordlund) swam at Hilton Head in South Carolina and told me he was getting into coaching like he did at Michigan State and was just as competitive as ever. I know that Peter Dayland coaches and I wonder how competitive he is with his swimmers compared to the USC days. Its still good to see he is doing this at 85 years old. Now there is a guy that loves swimming. I see one of ***'s fellow coaches who used to coach against him named Gus Stager when I am at the Canham Natatorium pool. He was the coach at University of Michigan for many years and was coaching when *** was at MSU. I believed they coached together on National Teams. In fact, I believe Gus was the Head Coach of the first World team that went to the World Championships in Belgrade in 1973 and *** was the Assistant Coach. I will have to tell Gus about *** and this article.
