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. Wayne and head west and get off the main road to drive through Warsaw, Indiana just to absorb some of that small town atmosphere. 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
