About this ebook
This book mostly focuses on my days growing up and running track over the years, the competition, my track squads, and some of the challenges I faced from 1969 to the early ’80s. Growing up in Orange County, the many genres of music inspired me to run as fast as I could. In life, I faced some drama, such as being kidnapped and getting juvenile diabetes a.k.a. type 1. The way the kids grew up and the places we went to . . . The temptations and crazy fun and friends I encountered . . . How our track squad was ranked last in the sprint medley race and won . . . I would say my goal is to spark memories of the time, also to share some things a lot of us may have in common at one time or another.
