Jesse was a real class act.

Dignity + fortitude = class!

why the hell didn't they ask the "is a ball used in this sport?" question right from the beginning! Would've saved them a lot of questions!
Still, i cracked up at the "tiddlywinks" bit :)

Jesse Owens was a thoroughly decent man and while the Nazis may not have liked him, he was at least able to stay in hotels and ride in the regular, not the freight elevators.

Mr. Owens seems like a nice man. A great American hero. As John Daly stated, "He rammed each of his gold medals right down Adolph Hitler's throat". Well stated. Amen.

Jesse owens stayed at a hotel at which I worked. When approached by one of my co-workers for an autograph, he was extraordinarily gracious. She asked if he'd write a brief message of encouragement on the back of a picture of her youngest son--a sophmore swimmer in High School. He looked at the picture, said "My! What a fine looking son you have there, ma'am.", wrote a brief message and signed his name. To her thank you, he responded "My pleasure" and meant it. What a man.
