He was not the only athlete to pose at those steps.

This is Donnell Young. He competed in the 200m and 400m at Stockholm. He competed for the BAA. Went to Amherst. Professor at Amherst, Carleton, Arizona, William and Mary, Maine and George Washington. Worked as a substitute teacher in his home town after retirement. Descended from John Alden of Pilgrim fame. Lived to 101. This is from a group of small photos and RPPC's taken by a competitor/coach in 1912 that I just acquired. |
I'd gladly take that Pentathlon 1500m if anyone here has one to spare!
