I just sent an email to an old friend. A great swimmer in my books, Carl Wooley. He sure could swim. I have a list of about 200 or more that I remember. I first met him in New Haven at the YMCA championships. I have not seen him since the 1960s

George:
I saw Carl at a meet about 6 weeks ago. He is back swimming and will probably be at our Michigan State Championship in about a month. When I see him I will tell him that you are still swimming which he probably already knows. Another swimmer I know you would be interested in is Clark Scholes. He is still in the lower Michigan area. We tried to get him to swim over 10 years ago when we had the Nationals at the University of Michigan but were unsuccessful. He was playing Water Basketball a lot and played at the DAC a lot. When I ran into him about 10 years ago, I told him that his 1952 Olympic teamate, Yoshi Oyakawa was swimming masters and still setting records. He was impressed but still is more interested in Water Basketball. I bring him up because I know he was Gold, you were Silver, and Carl was Bronze in the 100 Meter Free at the 1955 Pan American Games.
