I'd love to see him back in action at Masters' meets. That'd be awesome. His 1500 in '76 made this then 9 year old want to be a distance guy.
He is back, well sort of. He swam at the 2005 USMS Long Course Nationals in Mission Viejo. There was a story about him in the September/October 2005 issue of US Masters Swimmer magazine. He was on the cover.
