Bruce Kritzler just sent me a note indicating that Jim Ferstle has passed away. I wasn't familiar with Jim's work but just looked up his bio online and saw that he had contributed many articles to Runner's World and worked as a journalist in Minnesota. He is also regarded as one of the foremost writers on the subject of doping in track and field.
Here is one of those articles written in 2008 about a reunion of his Bowling Green teammates. Written thirteen years ago you will note that a few things are already dated, but the area covering what that great group of runners did from 1968 to 1972 should bring back a lot of memories to all of you. Here is the link. https://www.runnersworld.com/advanced/a20784691/the-age-of-innocence/
