GEORGE CUNNINGHAM RIP
George Cunningham passed away yesterday.  Tillie said there will be a 
service on Tuesday, August 9th, at 2pm, at St. Timothy's Episcopal 
Church in Mountain View. George received  the first male  Pacific 
Masters swimmer of the year award in 1981.

He swam for Tam Masters for many years. When he retired, he  moved to 
Felton and help found the Santa Cruz Masters Swim Club. George was 
honored at the recent Pacific Masters Swimming Long Course 
championships as a founder. George had worked many years as meet 
director of the any meet that held at Santa Cruz.

George was  graduate of the University of California and bled "blue." 
He also thought that the breast stroke was the most perfect stroke 
devised by man.

SICK CALL - MICHAEL MILLIMAN
Michael was in an auto accident june 24th. His trucks brakes locked 
up as he was driving down Walnut Creeks Ygnacia Valley Road. The 
truck rolled a couple of times and Michale injured his neck. He 
thinks he will be in a neck brace 2 to 4 months. He hopes to be back 
in the water soon, but it will be up to the doctors.

Have a good week

OFF THE WALL
I received many suggestions on how to keep my telephone costs low 
during my recent trip to Montreal. I did two things. I got 
international roaming for my cell phone. I also bought an 
international phone card at Costco - It still has not been used.

thanks to everyone who wrote. I do appreciate it.
