"George Thornton of Fort Collins will again try to become the oldest man to swim the English Channel," reports the Denver Post of the 1962 graduate of DePauw University. "Thornton, 73, and his family are in Dover, England, where he is preparing to swim the 21-mile stretch from southern England to northern France. Thornton planned to swim the arduous course in July 2012, but bad weather forced him to cancel," reports Monte Whaley.
