Biography
In her third Olympics, Mrs. Master, at slightly more than 43 years of age, became the second oldest U.S. woman to win an Olympic medal in any sport. In her previous Olympic appearances she had finished 23rd in 1968 and 19th in 1972. She was educated at Cornell and NYU and lived in Germany for a number of years, studying dressage under the great teacher, Heinz Lammers. She collected exotic birds, raised German shepherds, and grew orchids as a hobby.
