Foot Soldier



An email from Ron Rohn the Women’s Basketball Coach at Muhlenberg College in Allentown PA reminded me of the great Olympic Marathoner Abebe Bikila. He won the 1960 Olympic Marathon without any shoes, than he won again in 1964 with shoes. He was paralyzed in a terrible automobile accident before he died at the age of 41. Click on his name to read the story from Time Magazine.
