A note of gratitude from Chuck Shields:

Delvin,

Thanks for your help.. Bet you can't wait to turn 40... when is that anyway? Looking at two sets of splits and adjusting to the official FAT, we have Scott 2:01.4, Bob 2:02.8, Kevin 2:05.8, Nick 1:57.4. We found out on the way home (Ray looked on the internet) that the Ameican record was also the WORLD record ! How about that! My guess is Phil was about .3 behind Scott. But you may have a better recollection of that than me. You and Bob were almost a dead heat, maybe a tenth sec or less. So if Phil is , say, 2:01.7, that would put you at 2:02.5. What ever lead Scott had on Phil, you pretty much made up, so I would say mid 2:02 is pretty accurate. Thanks again, great effort !
