Re: VivaBene, i.eMarjorie.."And, as Ted's swimming cap says, he's still 18 years old:" should be added with 64 years of experience!! BTW, FYI I added two pics to an album on my profile..The 3-generation of "Eriksons" include Jon (54), Trent (11), Blake (17) and old man Ted (81).. My Turkish friend, Dogan Sahin (a channel swimmer) feels that it is a " a MÜKEMMEL opportunity..." (his words..need translation).

-cheers to Ted and Jon -wonderful gentleman and true inspirations! -as was recommended by Steve Munatones in another thread you can read about Ted in the early days of open water swimming in: Wind, Waves and Sunburn: A Brief History of Marathon Swimming by Conrad Wennerberg It was my fabulous luck to stumble upon the whole group of them one fine day. So, the early-morning swimmers have breakfast with Ted, then toward noon one can laze on the rocks w/ Connie, and so forth. I might be lending a hand in trying to find sponsorships. PR ppl and those with good ideas, please feel free to send a PM! National Geographic did a segment on his earlier Bosporus swim with Umbra, who also swam Big Shoulders - the horn went off, everybody jumped in the water, she did too! - but she is just a spiritual presence now. Thanks, Marjorie
