Abou Hief
He asked me what I ate before I raced and I told him my favorite race meal was bacon, egg and hashbrowns. He said he could not eat bacon because it was pork, not allowed by his religion. He then had his breakfast of two roasted chickens.
We had a BBQ dinner at our house a couple of days before a race. All of the swimmers were there from all over the world. He ate two of the biggest steaks there. I could only manage one. He had a great appetite and you will see in Conrad's book... he said Abou was a garbage can, he was talking about Abou's ability to eat.
He was indeed a gentelman and his wife a beauty was an Opera singer. His son was a race car driver.
He was an expert at drafting I did not like him swimming beside me.
I never meet Henry Laskau to my knowledge he sounds like someone to be looked up to.
