I've been wondering for years about him...growing up in Kelowna in the 60's and 70's, he was a familiar sight to me. One year - 72? 73? - he was a spontaneous, last-minute entry to one of our KSS-hosted track meets. He won his event, I can't recall which it was, beating the best young runners the Okanagan had to offer. I wonder, what was his story??? Great poem, thanks for posting it...and writing it! Also: a CBC radio documentary short was done about him...like to find that! Wonderful to read this!
