A Hero Is Gone

Lloyd Young died, age 87. Here is his obituary.

I remember, as a new runner, chasing after Lloyd when I was in my early 60's and Lloyd was in his late 70's. He was a world-class runner, holding many Minnesota and national age-group records. He was also a poet and a real gentleman. We will miss him.
