Vol. 3 No. 46 Jack Yerman Biography by his son Bruce

I recently became aware that Jack Yerman's son Bruce recently published a book about his father.  Below is the intro to it from Bruce and a website where you can order it online.   If you go to the link you will be able to open a video of Jack running his opening leg on the 4x400 relay at Rome in 1960.
Ernie Cunliffe informed us that Bruce Hamilton Yerman is named after Brutus Hamilton longtime coach at Cal Berkeley.


Dear George,

Thank you for posting this on your site.  I have tried to write something that fits with the blog.  I hope this works.  Let me know.  I’ll be glad to change it.
