I am posting this to all of you all over the world to invite you to celebrate Bob Schul's 50th Anniversary of his Tokyo Olympics 5000 Meters win.
His email is on the invitation which will be in West Milton Ohio, USA (about 10 miles north of Dayton) approximately October 18, 2014. If you cannot attend and care to send him a note via email, please do so. Many of us in Ohio and the US were deeply inspired by his performances throughout 1964, and they are certainly well worth remembering. Please forward the message to any of your friends who might remember him.
Best wishes from all of us, Bob
