We had no lights on the playground so darkness would come but we would still run in the dusk. And we enjoyed it. But this coach, the playground director happened to be our junior high school coach in the community in which I lived. And so he became a great person in my life because he coached me in junior high school... As I said to the youngsters here today, who knows, sitting in these stands today could be the star of the future Olympics..." TLS two black teen boys stretching legs on track.
