November 25, 20241 yr No. I was a freshman runner at Ohio State in 1968. Â The coach surprised us one day by bringing in Jesse Owens for a personal recap of his life as a Buckeye, followed by a long autograph session. Â Such a nice man and as a runner, it was like meeting God. Â As a student, Owens lived in a black hotel (yep, THOSE days) and made pocket money running the elevator, during which time he studied. Â Quite the inspiration. Edited November 25, 20241 yr by Bruce3404
