I've been a track & field fan since 1956 and I find myself wondering what happened to noted athletes of the past. Here are a few I'd like to know what their life is like now: Don Bowden (first American sub 4 mile in 1957, 3:58.7), Lou Jones (ran WR 400, 45.2 in '56 trials then failed to medal in OG final won by Charlie Jenkins @ 46.7), Jerry Smartt (alternate on 10K team for '56 OG team) and Glenn Davis (set WR in '56 OG trials @ 49.5 in 400m hurdles and won gold in Melbourne).
I'd like to know what happened to these and a hundred other stars of the 50"s--can anyone out there fill me in?
