A comprehensive review of Max Truex's life can be found at
http://yesteryear.clunette.com/truex.html
A lot of you readers from the West Coast probably didn't know of Socal Trojan and US Olympian, Max's Midwest origins. The few times I drove from Dayton to Chicago, I would pass through Ft.

The same can be said of nearby Fairmount, IN, home of James Dean another icon of the 1950's. My family doesn't understand me. George
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era.
