On this forum? How about George, who gets up early to answer any questions, has a history from way back and still swims. Besides, he doesn't offend any nationalities, as Canada only became partly independent in 1981 and is still part of the British Empire, with the Queen as head of state. Cheers, billy fanstone

I will second that vote for the most impressive regular poster on this forum. George certainly has a very impressive swimming background. I think Frank Thompson comes in second for his overall knowledge of the sport.....he's mind is a freakin encyclopedia of swimming related information.

Thanks for the compliment and George certainly does have an impressive background. I have had the pleasure of meeting three people in my lifetime that would blow away almost everyone when it comes to impressive swimming background and knowing the history of the sport. I would put all three of these people on equal status as contributors to our great sport. They are Cecil Colwin, Peter Daland, and Buck Dawson. Two of the three have written books on the subject and Peter is working on writting two books and I believe one is about the history of swimming. You talk to these guys and you will just be blown away on what they know and remember about all facets of swimming.
