If you guys read that account I linked, back in 1960, this was International News!

Lance's best stroke was Butterfly. He swam the Butterfly on the third leg of the Medley relay and they took gGold in the 1960 Rome Olympics, but he had to settle for the Silver in the 100 Free. (in world record time, he got the World Record, but the Australian got the Gold Metal! Figure that one out?

Lance was unbelievable, a true natural.

Good hunting. El Bee
