The Armand Diaries, November 1954.
I had a birthday, my 40th, November 30. I retired officially as walking champion, unbeaten in 1940 - 1954 stretch in Morgantown, during which time I took on consciously or not on their part and bested, any and all walkers I found, at all opportunities.
Once I didn't catch Abel of law school, but not a really fair try and since then (day or so later) and again and again, have outdone him. Now on, I race when I feel like it - no title at stake!
