I met him several years ago at an AAU meet. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. You could tell that his kids really loved him.

2-15-46: You are totally right about Oran. In fact, Oran was absolutely invaluable in helping me develop as a person and a pole vaulter. His enthusiasm and passion for the event still inspire me to this day. I used to call him on a regular basis, but it has been a year or two since I have talked to him.

I hope he shows up for some indoor meets this season.
If anyone on the west side of the state talks to him, post it please.
