UPDATE ON DORE SCHWAB Rev 1.01
Nancy Ridout reports:"Saw Dore again today.  He looks good and was 
ornery and feisty!  That's an
improvement.  Now he WANTS visitors - lots of them.  So, if you're in 
the area, drop by and take a few minutes to say "Hi!" if you can.  He 
very much appreciates your encouragement and support. He remembers 
what each of you has said in your cards and it means a lot to him.

SICK CALL
Dale Finch of the San Mateo Master Marlins is in North Carolina being 
treated for breast cancer. She expects to be out of the water for a 
few months and hopes to be back by the end of the year.

Dale has been one of the leaders of the Marlins. She has also been 
the meet director or the assistant meet director for many of the 
Marlins meet. She was the recipient of the Pacific Masters 2000 
Distinguished Service Award

for their swim team: the Eichler Gators. The team competes in the 
local Junipero Serra Swim League. Coaching responsibilities include 
running practices Monday through Friday from 4:30 to 7 PM and 
coaching 6 dual meets and one championship meet.

All meets are held on Saturdays. Practices begin 3/31/03 and the 
season closing championship meet will be held on 7/19/03. The team
