Comments:

Hello to all my former teammates! It is good to see SPY online. A quick update:

I swam at Virginia Tech for three years and retired at the beginning of my senior year. I have yet to swim a lap since retiring.

With a mother's help, I started and coached the Fairwood Flyers swim team (of Mountain Rd in Pasadena) in the summers of '83-'84.
