Most Important Speedo


The Stars and Stripes! Ahhh! Sweet, sweet Speedo. Mark Spitz, 1972, and Dan becomes SpeedoDan when he sees the Olympian in that suit. Young as he was, that look made an indelible impression on the eight year old and he has loved Speedos ever since.
Yeah, that is me, defined that summer watching the Olympics; and as the Olympics approach this year, when the swimmers will be all covered up in the new style of swim suit (thank god for the divers!) and at the Forth of July I am posting this pic of me in the style Speedo that changed the way I view the world. (Goodness, this all sounds so pretentious, LOL.) Anyway, this it the modern version, not the nylon style they had back in ’72, but it is the best I have. And I love it!
