My friend just announced that her grandfather swam in the Olympics, when the swimming competion was done in the Hudson River. She is 40.
What does she mean by this? I don't think any Olympics were in NY, but could they have trained there? Or is she fibbing? :joker:
Just curious...SmartSwimmeroftheDay award to the person who knows!
Boy, you've come to the right place for this type of inquiry. If your friend is 40 her grandfather is probably pretty old, at least 80 probably,or roughly 25 years younger than our resident hisortian, geochuck. That would most likely put him in the LA, Amsterdam, London, Berlin era. Seems fishy to me. Maybe there was something in the Hudson but doesn't seem probable it was the Olympics or the Trials. He could have been in the Olympics and they did some sort of publicity thing in the Hudson, you never know.
