>They both worked for Grumann?

None of these answers are correct. And it's Grumman, not Grumann. I only mentioned this becuase my father worked there for 31 years and knew Al Oerter slightly.

Re: The Ultimate Trivia Question n

Satch may be close, but my answer happened to be correct. Not only that, I believe Baker and Oerter are the only Olympic medalists from any country, ever, who can make that claim.

Re: The Ultimate Trivia Question n

my guess is DTD; which is probably ALSO the fraternity of some obscure HJ er/ either DOUG NORQUIST OR BILL COSBY.

Re: The Ultimate Trivia Question n

satch is correct . Thane Baker and Al Oerter were both members of Delta Tau Delta at their respective schools.
