I agree wholeheartedly...what a treat it was to work with this guy. A true hero and inspiration to all those lucky enough to know him.

wow John Hinton's seriously fit! He makes me feel bad cos he can run faster than me (and I'm in my 20s)

Very well done. I love the masters angle, but the kids part with the Pacers group is a great addition to the piece.

John Hinton is one inspirational guy, and one of the finest gentlemen in the sport. He was competing against (and beating) top grade collegians well into his 40s. Forever Young John, Forever Young.
