And Furthermore
A little extra for our more astute readers.  Some of you may know that Jerry Siebert came from the small northern California town of Willits where he set the Cal Scholastic 880 record of 1:53.8 back about 1955.
 Your blogging trolls,   Roy Mason and George Brose, put on sack cloth and made a pilgrimage to  Willits, CA two weeks ago.  Here are pictures of Willits HS and the track record board in the gym showing Jerry Siebert still holds the school record 1:53.8y.  They've not bothered to make the conversion to metric.
