Seagren, Mills, Watson among legends attending SoCal luncheon

Bob Seagren is coming!

Billy Mills, Bob Seagren, Martha Watson and Laszlo Tabori — Olympic legends all — are among 100 track athletes set to attend this Saturday’s Golden Age of Track and Field luncheon in Seal Beach. Doug Smith, an organizer, says it isn’t too late to RSVP. Write Doug at smitheld@cox.net for details. He shared a roster of current attendees, starting with Oxy, Doug’s alma mater (along with Long Beach State). And my day was made by seeing myself listed under Kansas alongside Billy Mills, Ernie Shelby, Bob Covey and Bill Dotson. (How do I rate this?) See list.
