Ed Bosch Thank you so much for posting. Had never seen this pic. Richey was the untouchable multi-time state champ from North Allegheny high school. My old classmates from Warren high school spoke in awe of him. A year out of high school he ran a 3:58 mile at Franklin Field, and then this try to make our Olympic team. Don't know why he quit running.
