My Brush with Greatness
In 1961 I was either in
my senior year of high school or just graduated ( too old to remember)
.
I went to the Modesto Relays in Modesto
CA where I lived. The Relays hosted world class
athletes and a few world records where established there over the
years. I was about to leave
when there occurred something that drew the attention of the crowd
around me and myself.
There was a very pretty young woman
next to me that was trying to see what was going on,
but there was a tall guy in front of her. I stepped aside to let
her get a better view to which
she looked up at me and gave me a big smile. Every one in the
world would have recognized her.
It was the fastest woman in the world
at that time - Wilma Rudolph,
1st woman to win
3 Olympic gold medals in the 1960 Olympics; 100meter, 200 meter, &
400 meter relay.
