distance swimmin'



She was only 15, only 15, named Aloma Keen. So why does swim coach Lou Miller think he can put his cigar stinking paws all over this charming sweetheart? It's cuz he's training her, duh. Aloma was born March 3, 1942 in Outremont and in this photo, published 15 September 1957, she's preparing to beat a distance swimming record.

Her plan was to swim from St. Helen's Island to Sorel in under 12 hours. We hope she didn't drown. Aloma, would be 66 now. Write if you're out there hun. PS. We later learned that she moved to Hawaii and got married.
