correct Cullman but someone else beat you by about 2 weeks. Good work though anyway. And they also corrected me by saying he's Gayle's older, not younger, brother.

Sorry...I'm new to the board and jumped the gun before I scrolled down.

Not Murphy. I am going to give up on this, so I again apologize if Murphy went to Manhattan, did he ? Knew he was 1960.

I am talking about Lou Jones.


I realize this is a very old thread, but I found it when I was searching for information on Lou Jones, who passed away on Friday(2-3) after a long bout with diabetes. The viewing is on Tuesday, February 7th at 7-9 PM and the funeral is on Wednesday, February 8, at 10 AM, both at St Catherine Church, 19 Lincoln Avenue, New Rochelle, NY (914-235-0001).

And, yes, Murphy went to Manhattan College. Jones and Murphy are both members of the school's Hall of Fame. And Centrowitz spent his freshman year at Manhattan before transferring to Oregon. (I'm sure these questions were answered long ago)

Did anyone answer, "What Olympic champ was only #74 on world list?"
Amos Biwott, 68 steeple. Or some marathoner?
