Dave Parcells was part of the extremely active Connecticut long-distance group. As you indicated he completed both single and double crossings of the English Channel. He also attempted a triple crossing, and at age 44 his double crossing makes him the oldest person to complete that feat. The USMS magazine published an article about the Connecticut distance swimmers a couple years ago. I had a copy laying around on my hard drive but can't find it now. Perhaps the USMS website has it online.
