LOOKING FOR RECORDS
We here in Mountain View are looking for old PMS SCM results from
1991 through 1995. Top Ten lists for those years would also be
helpful. If anyone can offer any assistance, I can be reached at
ccampbell at macconnect.com.
====
THE BERRYESSA SWIM THIS YEAR IN ON A TRIAL BASIS
The Bureau of Reclamation has insisted that Davis Aquatic Masters cut
down the vehicular impact. They are asking all participants to
carpool as much as possible. When you think of going to the Open
Water Swim at Berryessa, make plans to bring your swim teams mates.
Also cars have to be properly parked. There were many cars that were
towed because they were not parked properly. To keep the Lake
Berryessa swim we all have to pitch in to make it work.
