"Two Activists and The Journalist Who Worked With Them."
From an earlier era, Coach Forbes Carlile (Australia) Journalist Nick Theiry (Canada) and Coach Peter Daland (USA)
Activists Daland and Carlile fought for the rights and best interests of ATHLETES AND COACHES for many decades from the '50s through the 2010s. We all stand on their shoulders and owe them a huge debt. They shaped our World today. Nick was their mouthpiece in an era long before email, the web, or Twitter. He was equally influential in making the world a better place for Swimmers, Coaches, and SWIMMING.
With all Respect, John Leonard
