I knew Art Honeyman. He was involved with students at the high school I went to (Adams High school) . He once challenged the students to a road race on the track. One student, Ben, accepted his challenge. They raced and Ben ran against Art as fast as he could. When Art crossed the finish line much later, all applauded. Art went up to Ben and they hugged and laughed. For me at 15 years old, I was appalled that Ben did not let Art win. Today I understand better what was going on. 

This is an event I will never forget.
