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!

Obviously, if you get his full name, it would be easy to find out if he ever was on the OG.
That aside, keep in mind that grandparents sometimes tell kids things in jest that the kids take seriously. My maternal grandfather used to tell me that my grandmother used to hunt buffalo with Buffalo Bill. Keep in mind that she never lived more than 15 miles from NYC. I told some of my friends this and a minor kid-urban-legend flourished in Morris Plains, NJ for awhile in the 1960's.
