After I quit the track team (long story — I was not the only one who quit) I briefly became a “manager.” I recall helping Questad with his starts, using a wooden clapper in place of a starter’s pistol. At the time I had no idea what a big star he was. Dumb. He seemed like a nice dude. I also helped out at a few meets, and I recall raking the broad jump pit for Tommy Smith. He was a terrific broad jumper, but I think he only took one attempt — probably all he needed. It was a dual meet, and he just did for the points.
