<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>INTERNATIONAL MASTERS SWIMMING
HALL OF FAME HONORS</b></font></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>JEAN DURSTON AND SUZANNE
HEIM-BOWEN</b></font></div>
<div>The International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame will be inducting
Jean Durston and Suzanne Heim-Bowen during the United States
Aquatic Sports to be held at the Hyatt Regency.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Both Jean and Suzanne swam for Walnut Creek Masters. Jean passed
away a few years ago. At the Olympic Club Mile that was being held at
the Herbst Natatorium a few years ago, I saw Jean swim the 1650 and
during that event broke the 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 1650 records. It
was truly an awesome performance.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Five years ago at a USA Swimming regional meet where I was
officiating, Suzanne Heim-Bowen at an age group meet in the outside
lane swam the 1500 in 18 minutes flat. She was first in the heat, her
nearest competitor was just making the last turn at the other end of
the pool. Suzanne was 43 and the next oldest swimmer was 18. Suzannes
team was cheering her on, girls from the other teams were watching in
amazement as woman who was old enough to be their mother was womping
on her competitors in the pool.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you would like to attend the ceremony contact the
