Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with Pre. If you would be willing to let me see the photo, I would be most grateful. I would certainly consider posting it (and to protect your interests in the photo, it would need to be watermarked first.)

It was at the afternoon high school section before the night meet when he took a rare defeat from Dick Buerkle in the 2-mile. But he was as nice as could be and I have to this day a photo of him talking to me and my high school teammates. In 2017 I had the great good fortune of being allowed to run a lap around the track at Hayward Field, the day before I went down to Coos Bay to run the Pre 10K which finishes on his old high school track. All three experiences were and are still precious to me.Jeff Horton, Frisco, Texasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648918599298765451.post-71277476714482604692018-11-02T19:45:58.635-07:002018-11-02T19:45:58.635-07:00OUTSTANDING STORY Mark!

I didn't stick around for the Q&A but experienced plenty of Pre's generous spirit other times. He used to visit my school, Roosevelt Junior High, and I got to play basketball with him once. It was a game in which the students played the faculty, and we got to have Pre on our side. I don't remember which side won, but I remember how competitive Pre was--he scowled at me after I shot three straight clankers from the outside and told me to pass the ball, which I did from then on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080876572595410505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648918599298765451.post-33434372584443074942016-05-25T15:07:29.299-07:002016-05-25T15:07:29.299-07:00Wow, great remembrance.
