Lt to Rt John Braun, Star Man (John McElligott), James Dunn, Rocket Man (Gere Gaige) This is the relay team that won the 1962 Texas Relay event. We were in the 7th lane since we qualified last for the finals. Thanks to Rocket Man turning on his boosters and passing a little gas at the finish of his back stroke. Never seen Gere go so fast.
Just a bit more information… none of us knew that we were All Americans until Harry Miller told us almost a decade later. WOW.

Also I can’t get over how muscular James Dunn looked back then.

That relay starts with backstroke…. that’s ME. Why is the freestyle guy first in the picture?
Not sure Gere but you will get over it. Just as James Dunn will gets over his new body!
