The life story of a boy who was so small, shy and short of funds that growing up was a challenge. At age 61, he became a sprinter in the National Senior Games, with the dream of an eventual state championship. Twenty years later, he had won 60 championships in six states and, at 81, won national titles in four events. His loving wife encouraged and supported him every step of the way.
