Lost & Found

HE WAS the rare running back who could change direction without losing speed. These days Tony Dorsett is still putting that skill to good use. "I'm a jack-of-all-trades now," says the two-time All-America at Pitt who won a Super Bowl ring with the Dallas Cowboys and was inducted into the college and pro football halls of fame in 1994. He owns Tony Dorsett Food Products, which sells prepackaged meals to the U.S. military and other institutions; is a part-owner of 1st Team Lending, a mortgage company in Dallas; and is a motivational speaker for Roger Staubach's sports-celebrity marketing company. And in addition to 32-year-old son Anthony, a former NFL defensive back, he has three daughters--Jazmyn, 14, Madison, 7, and Mia, 3, who, he says, "keep me dang busy"--with his second wife, Janet.

Dorsett, 52, has marked Sept. 2 on his calendar. That's when, at halftime of Pitt's game against Virginia, the 1976 Panthers will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their undefeated run to the national title. Dorsett, who also won the Heisman Trophy, promises he'll clear his schedule. "I don't miss reunions, man," he says. "I love going back."

Tracy CAULKINS

America's greatest female distance swimmer is now kicking Down Under, and raising an Aussie posse

AT THE 1984 Summer Olympics, as she stood atop the medal podium with the first of her three golds, there was no doubt that Tracy Caulkins was made in the U.S.A. Clad in a red-white-and-blue warmup suit, the Minnesota-born, Tennessee-raised and Florida-schooled Caulkins covered her heart with her hand as the national anthem played, tears welling in her eyes.

Today Caulkins, regarded as the U.S.'s greatest swimmer--she set 63 national and five world records--lives in Brisbane, Australia; is married to an Australian; has four Australian-born children; and, to the horror of her parents and siblings in Tennessee, speaks with a thick Aussie accent. "But people [in Australia] think I have a Tennessee twang," she says. "I'm confused. I say, 'G'day, y'all.'"

Her voyage Down Under began at those '84 Games in L.A., where she met Australian swimmer Mark Stockwell; after years of dating they married in '91. Now Tracy Stockwell, she takes care of the couple's children--twins Maddison and William, 10, Emily, 7, and Annie, 3--and is president of Womensport Queensland, a nonprofit that aims to aid girls and women in sports. She doesn't swim much. ("I get in and I feel good for about 200 meters," she says, "then I start to feel really uncoordinated.") Mark, a sprint champion who won two silvers and a bronze in '84, runs Stockwell Building and Development.

Though Brisbane is home, Tracy and the kids have dual citizenship, and the family plans to soon live in the U.S. for a stint of up to six months. "I've assimilated well here, made friends," she says. "This is a great place to be, but I always feel I am an American first."
