Guess who I met

Posted by Kevin Doak on Friday at: 1:43pm (June 27th, 2008)
As I was waiting at the gate, I see a gentlemen who looks like a masters swimmer. I took the opportunity to introduce myself, as soon as I said my name he smiled and said "Kevin Doak, I know that name!".

It turns out I just met Bill Volckening, the editor of "USMS Swimmer Magazine"! I had a great, although brief conversation about his recent meeting to discuss 2009 magazine topics as well as my journey from my first 2005 masters meet to qualifying for the trials without a coach. He let me know he would like to do a small story about me at some point in 2009. It was a great conversation, I meet the nicest people! More later, we're taking off now!
