From Last to First

About the Book

This book mostly focuses on my days growing up and running track over the years, the competition, my track squads, and some of the challenges I faced from 1969 to the early ’80s. Growing up in Orange County, the many genres of music inspired me to run as fast as I could. In life, I faced some drama, such as being kidnapped and getting juvenile diabetes a.k.a. type 1. The way the kids grew up and the places we went to . . . The temptations and crazy fun and friends I encountered . . . How our track squad was ranked last in the sprint medley race and won . . . I would say my goal is to spark memories of the time, also to share some things a lot of us may have in common at one time or another.
