edited October 2014 in General Discussion
I have been asked by the Secretary of the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame to assemble a mailing list of inductees. We have most but are missing contract details for the below. Can you help? Ideally I want an email address...but postal will do. If you are more comfortable, forward my details to them and ask them to contact me via Facebook or email from my profile.

Thanks in advance.

The first column is their induction year. Following their name is the country. The next column is to determine if they are with us still - if you saw them/heard from them recently GREAT, please let me know.

Ned

    Hi Ned,
    Sadly, Willy Van Rysel, a pioneer of Masters swimming here in the UK, passed away in September 2012. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/willy-van-rysel-longdistance-swimming-pioneer-8221867.html

    Ned, Eva Morrison, a 1973 swimmer inductee on your list, passed away 1985 in Brockton, MA. She was a huge open-water swimmer and had swum the Boston Light Swim in 1924.

    Hi Ned,
    Diego Degano (1995 ARG) has his own homepage (http://www.diegodegano.com.ar/home) and fb-page (https://www.facebook.com/DIEGODEGANO), each with contact details. He seems to be running for office now. I was talking about him with Christof (Wandratsch) recently, Diego supported Christof on one of his EC-swims.

    @Ned, according to The Evening News, 12 July 87, Steve Wozniak passed away. He was almost 72. More here: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1982&dat=19870712&id=IZBRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=pjMNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3610,990518

    Rejean La Coursiere has a swimming website: http://www.regentlacoursiere.com. I emailed him maybe two years ago, and heard back from one of his children that they had passed the message along.

    Marty Sinn, USA Alive I suspect - 75 ish ? Mary Martha (legal names) Catalano…married name. University of Michigan. Probably lives in Detroit area (Bloomfield Hills in 1996). I think still swims masters ?

    Alawi Makki, UAE                                 News ? Probably born in SAFWA (Saudi Arabia).
    John Sigmund, USA would be about 95 in 2014
    Jose Cortinas,  CUB                           Would be 98 in 2014
    James Toomey, USA                         would be about 85 in 2014 Proabably lives in New Jersey.
    Helge Jensen, DEN would be 76 in 2014 Probably lives in British Columbia Canada.
    Feng Yao-Hsein, CHI     would be 86 in 2014 Probably living in Tianjin from 2008 - but left in 2011.

    @ned I did some digging using some asset/property searching resources available in my office. I only have access to U.S. assets/property, so I didn't even attempt those you didn't indicate as such. Here are results:

    Marty Sinn: Almost certainly found her. Mary Catalano (aka "Marty," "Mary Martha") age 71, currently resides in Bloomfield, MI. Significant utility, governmental, political and financial activity reported in last 12-months (likely very much alive). I can send you address/phone by email for privacy.

    John Sigmund: Could only find 3 living people named John Sigmund over the age of 90. None with middle initial "V." But couldn't find any recently deceased with that initial, either.

    James P. Toomey: Likely found the right one. Age 83, currently residing in Toms River, NJ and appears to be a life-long resident of NJ (at least last 50 years). There are other James Toomeys in New Jersey, but this one is closets to your age estimate. Nominal amount of reportable activity in recent year, likely still living. Can provide address/phone by email for privacy.

    Jerry Kerschner: Tough one. Could not locate a single living male Kerschner with first initial “J” or “G” with DOB in 1924-1926 in U.S. However, two males in Florida with DOB in 1925: Roy F. Kerschner and Byron D. Kerschner, and neither seem likely candidates. However, I can provide address/phone by email.
