    How would you feel if you were "newish" and posted something, just to have the 1st response be a shoot-down? :bitching: That wasn't harsh or a put down. I stated that I don't see why his particular opinion would be of anymore importance than any other swimmer today or from the past that has done this sport I really just comes down to a few who feel the need to put a negative spin on their posts and be critical of others. Don't be talkin about Geek that way. He isn't around to defend himself. Nothing was critical or negative. See comments above to address your "negative comment" It was neither harsh nor negative.

    I have to laugh. How many of you have spoke to Johnny, how would you even be able to give an answer What would he think? I am sure would laugh at the question at first. Then give you his answer, I am sure he would try the gadgets out and give you his thoughts which may agree with you or not. I would more than likely agree with his answer. His first answer would be his elephant call.

    Wookster, I think Kilgor sold us out. This is some heavy stuff, people with six toes, dogs that meow, and sheeple that call themselves swimmers. I'm going to need to hold off writing for a bit, which doesn't have any meaning due to my time travel helmet. Good luck . They might be on to you. I'll be back before you know it.
  • Johhny did a great call for us at a prerace dinner in Hamilton Ontario before the 10 mile race at Confederation Park. He was the starter. He started the race with a 10 gauge shot gun. If any of you are on Facebook, I highly recommend befriending George, my Canadian daddy who is still trying to get me covered under the Canadian universal health care system, and watching his very smooth freestyle swimming in what appears to be a Mexican resort complete with submerged Mai Tai and Pina Colada bar. Sure, the beverages are relaxing, but even us teetotallers can find peace in watching George's lovely and langurous freestyle as he crosses the vacationer-dappled curvilinear resort pool. Johnny would have no doubt given him a thumbs up!

    There was a swimmer from Univ of Redlands back in the 60's, Wendall Diggs, who could do the greatest Tarzan yell I've ever heard.

Johnny would have no doubt given him a thumbs up! It really IS calming to watch George swim past all those tourists as if they're not even there. Now that school's out for a few weeks I've finally been able to close the textbooks and read "Wind, Waves, and Sunburn", in which George features many times.
