Recently our sport, and more to the point, NCMS lost two of its very remarkable people who meant so much to Masters Swimming: Dick Webber and Frank Clark.

It is sad that Frank is not with us to see his meet being held in the brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Greensboro, but he will be there in spirit. We have tributes to both of these men in our newsletter.

You will get a chance to meet fellow NCMS swimmer Bernie White - he has a great story to tell!

To the directors of the upcoming meets in NC: an excerpt of the meet directors' handbook is in this newsletter. Please read it carefully.

Hope y'all are getting excited about "Nationals" coming up in April, I know I am!

Enjoy your newsletter,
Happy Swimming,
Greta van Meeteren
