    Wow, brings back memories' It's Bobby Drewy, not Tommy. Bobby held many records and I believe Hall of Champions. Earnest Lawrence was know as Len. Several times U class National Champ. FBT would be me F. Beale Tilton. GA Thorton lll is none other than Buck.
    That list includes many record holders, National Champ, National Marathon Champs and US-1 and US-ll winners. Region 4 was a hot bed of OPC in the 60's and 70's.
    Thanks Sam

    Yeah, I knew it was Bobby that set the records, but the name Tommy in the old roster for those years. I'm sure the name listed is Bobby in later rosters and the record section.
