Former Member
had what appeared to be a severe heart attack, today, while swimming a 500 free at the SPMA regionals in Santa Clarita Calif. At this time I don't whether he made or not. He has been a master swimmer since 1989. He made the Olympic team as a shot putter in 56 60 64 68 ( amazing) and won two gold medals. My prayers go out tonight for him and lovely wife. Any of you older folks will remember this incredible athlete and any of your comments about this great man would be appreciated.
