The above second and third place finishes in the Lakes Region Meet held at the exclusive New Hampton School for Boys  reflect the best times in the heat because there were no finals because of the inclement wintry weather of 34 degrees with a wind chill of 19 degrees.  Also note that I had a slightly pulled right hamstring muscle.  The cold wind was blowing off Lake Winnipesaukee pictured below.  Other schools participating in the Lakes Region Meet were: Brewster Academy, Holderness School, Phillips Exeter Academy and Tilton School.



Note that I broke the state record in the 100 yard dash in this meet in Kent Hills.  But the track had a slight downgrade therefore the record did not stand.


As where all my training took place, the above meet was held at the site of the Fryeburg Fair which was on a horse track.  The Fryeburg Fair is known throughout New England and the East Coast.

The above two ribbons were for first place finishes at the Maine State Prep School Meet in which I broke a record in the 100 yard dash which was disallowed because of the wind.  In retrospect, I think if I had been pushed that spring, I could have possibly run 9.6 in the 100 yard dash.

*My brother, Thomas J. Saunders, Jr. ('54-'57) was also a member of the Fryeburg Academy track team who performed admirably in the 440 yard run which is now called the 400 meter dash.

Rare Article from the Official Collegiate Football Record Book, Dated 1955, Titled: The Negro Colleges by Bill Nunn, Jr., Sprts Editor of The Pittsburgh Courier

                              One of the smartest things the Rooney family did was to hire the outstanding talents of Bill Nunn, Jr.  Bill Nunn Jr. is the person responsible for the Steelers drafting Joe Greene, LC, Greenwood, Dwight White, Fats Holmes, John Stallworth, Mel Blount, Donnie Shell ( Free Agent) Frank Lewis, Joe Gilliam, JT Thomas, and Robin Cole.  Three of Nunn's choices are in Canton, Ohio and Joe Greene, Fats Holmes, LC Greenwood , Dwight White, Mel Blount, and Donnie Shell were the nucleus of the Steelers famed Steel Curtain Defense.

This is the same Rooney family that cut Hall of Famers Johnnny Unitas, and Lenny Dawson.
Some football historians argue that the Rooney's simply didn't know talent but with the hiring of Charles Chuck Noll and Bill Nunn, Jr. that changed the public's perception of the Rooney's.
 Prior to Noll and Bill Nunn, Jr, coming to the Steelers they were doormat of the league and cellar dwellers.
I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Bill Nunn, Sr and Bill Nunn, Jr who both worked at the Pittsburgh Courier along with my late great mother Mrs Beatrice L. Saunders Robinson.

 Bill Nunn, Jr, should be honored with the naming of a street in the area of Heinz Field for without Mr. Nunn Jr. the Steelers would have still have been a doormat of the league.
 May I suggest Bill Nunn, Jr. Way.
