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!

I have come accross lots of stuff on her, there may be some items in an old book that I have at home. I have seen her named in this book. Her name is mentioned in Wind Waves and Sunburn also but it is not complete. I will check with Patty Thompson my coach's daughter also. Jimmy Thompson had books and articles about everyone and she has these books. He had records on Corky Kellam the first guy o swim the Mississippi and no one even knows about Corky.
If you search out Easter Williams there may be something their as well.
Sorry I am not at home and have no access to a bunch of stuff that I have.
There may also be some stuff on the Solo Swim site.
I did meet her at the Canadian National Exhibition they had her and Earnest Verkotter there.
