I was 13 when I watched this race unfold. Clarke's elbow pissed me off. When Billy Mills roared past Clarke and Gemudi, I YELLED with joy. Definitely one of the most memorable moments in Olympic history. Tops my list for its spirit and character.

I will honor our phone conversation for the rest of my life Billy Mills. It was an incredible honor to be blessed with a chance to speak to you after I completed the 217 Mile "Run for Recovery", Fort St. John B.C. In June of 2013, finishing in twelve days. I tried holding off until your birthday to cross the finish line....All my Love and All my prayers to you and Pat.
