    Well, it wasn't exactly at the high school, but rather the
local junior college. I was in a karate class that practiced
outside during the summer, right near the shot put area.  At the
same time that we would practice, so would Brian Oldfield, a 
world class shot-putter; and at the time (I believe) national
champion. 

   We got to know him pretty good, a nice guy.  I think the 
strongest memory I have of this was him doing a juggling routine
with three (and then four) 16 pound shot puts. Picking them up in 
one hand is bad enough and he was handling them as others do  to 
tennis balls.
