From pacmasterupdate at PacificMasters.org Mon Oct 2 16:23:35 2006 From: pacmasterupdate at PacificMasters.org (pacmasterupdate@PacificMasters.org) Date: Mon Oct 2 16:36:47 2006 Subject: [PacMasterUpdate] Jon Steiner, 1950-2006 RIP Message-ID: Jon Steiner passed away Saturday, September 30th. He was a long time member of the Tamalpais Aquatic Masters located in San Rafael, California, and was active in the Pacific LMSC and USMS. He attended many conventions and was a member of the Legislation and Legal Counselors committees. John was known for being thorough and for quickly getting to the heart of the matter. Jon also acted as Legal Counsel for the XI FINA Masters Local Organizing Committee. He reviewed the contracts before the they were signed, usually making a suggestion or two about how to word a sentence so that both sides got what they wanted. Jon took great pride in his swimming, his team, and gave back in many ways to our sport including creating the TAM 1650 Pool Mile - Don't waste your base swim to help raise funds for TAM. Music was one of his many talents and he played guitar professionally in several jazz groups he organized. He also wrote music and created many arrangements for his bands.Even when sick, Jon loved to go to the club to play a set. Jon competed at the SC Nationals in Coral Springs in May. He didn't perform as well as he'd hoped and had trouble taking a deep breath. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He really wanted to compete at the World Championships even though he was on oxygen and hadn't been able to train since the end of May. His coach and teammates volunteered to make this dream possible and he swam the anchor leg of a relay which meant a great deal to him. Jon fought a good fight and is survived by his wife Sue, and two daughters. -- Michael Moore From pacmasterupdate at PacificMasters.org Thu Oct 12 02:45:42 2006 From: pacmasterupdate at PacificMasters.org (pacmasterupdate@PacificMasters.org) Date: Thu Oct 12 02:46:36 2006 Subject: [PacMasterUpdate] Pacific Masters Update Columbus Day Message-ID: Skipped content of type multipart/alternative-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

LYNN COX ON 60 MINUTES FROM CBS A Story that will be running this Sunday, Dec. 24 (7PM ET/PT on CBS) on ?60 MINUTES? that I thought you might be interested in. It?s a great piece on an amazing athlete you?re probably familiar with: ocean swimmer Lynne Cox. When Cox, who had already set records in the English Channel and performed other extraordinary swimming feats, needed a new challenge a few years back, she picked a doozy: trying to swim a mile in the coldest water on earth. So did she succeed? It?s a great and inspiring story, and we?re trying to get word out about it to people we thought would be particularly interested. To that end, we were hoping you?d consider sending out something to your listserve and/or posting something on your website. Further information will also be available on our website ( http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml).
