The Billable, Happy-Go-Lucky World of USA Swimming’s General Counsel — Richard R. “Rich” Young, Office Managing Partner, Bryan Cave Law Firm

Muchnick to Scott Ward (Head Coach, Eagle Swim Team), Raymond Brown (General Chairman, Maryland Swimming), Tim Pierce (Administrative Vice-Chair, Maryland Swimming), Tom Himes (Age Group Vice-Chair, Maryland Swimming)

What is Murray Stephens’ relationship with the Eagle Swim Team at McDonogh School in Owings Mills?

Stephens resigned as CEO of North Baltimore Aquatic Club after accusations of sexual abuse. Is he allowed on the pool deck of other Maryland Swimming clubs?
