Enjoy your holidays, however you choose to celebrate. and best wishes to all of you for 2023. George Brose, Roy Mason, Jeff Allen, Paul O'Shea, Richard Mach, Darryl Taylor, and Bill Schnier.

Willie Nelson 'On the Road Again'
Really, he used to run road races around Austin.
I'm not a real expert on T&F standouts of this era, but I knew everyone in the pictures. Great collection!
Brumel's quads are enormous. Juice?
Villanova is known as a distance school but had other WR holders: Don Bragg (PV) and Irv Hall (120H) as well as silver medalist, Larry James (400).
Greta Garbo was not especially cute. Maybe she was better at running.
The picture of Payton Jordan in Life magazine looked almost exactly like my father. I kept a copy of the edition.
When Bob Schul returned to Miami after training on the West Coast, he skipped the NCAA meet declaring a lack of competition. In later life he said that was a mistake. Bill Schnier
