We are all saddened by Sir Roger Baptist’s loss, the first person who broke four minutes for a mile. As part of that cover, here is a piece of Jeff Benjamin to pursue Sir Roger on his own and meet with his hero. Jeff is a long time for us to suffer from the East Coast Saten Island, who loves sports, he writes every fiber of his essence. Enjoy.
My search of Sir Roger: Jeff Benjamin – 3/4
I was running late.
Leaving my teaching work on Staten Island, the city of New York’s city will be easily traveling at Rush Hour. But this was a big trip.
Meet Sir Roger Bannister.
Somehow, on that day, my journey reflected a detachment of priorities and events, which danced Roger every day in the early 1950s. His rise to the run “Everest” coincided with his equal ascending to pursue medicine. In young medical practice even went to work on the morning of May 6, 1954. By performing his usual stages around the hospital, he went to Oxford by train, hoping what he had ever done, and something he believed that he had believed.
After leaving the work, I went and picked up my 2 young daughters and fans of sports fans Charles Girinsky, who sailed the barriers to the poor weather, when we accepted Manhattan Island.
This fantastic day in 1954, Sir Roger was also worried about the way. Despite the encouragement of coach Franz’s ingenuity and Chris Prisis, Sir Roger was skeptical because he had the wind and the rain hoped.
Like Sir Roger, we also had time to meet. In the MANHATTAN Paragon Sports store, his 2006 appearance was only a schedule for 2 hours. Because the weather and traffic continued to build Charlie’s construction, and I was calm hoping that we would be able to make it.
In the afternoon of 1954 the rains stopped, and the wind died. He raised his spirit, Roger decided to give it. He was prepared at his time.
Our preparations were slightly different. Of course, we will be able to book Bannister’s “Four Minutes Mile”. Charlie also brought him some ways, he hoped to be signed.
Back in the early 1990s, I learned about a large method of acquiring the world’s largest pusher. Subject 4 Mother and high masters Kenny Popyo once showed me that he had acquired his own autographs, which he had acquired in Helson and Roberto Kverbetani’s epic book. They returned with annual stories and photos for more than a hundred years, Popejoy was able to acquire the greatest biggest signatures in the world.
By taking that idea from Kenny, I started bringing my example. Eamon Court, Jim, Seb Co, Abe Kiviat, Ron Delani, said Steve Kind, that “Key Keyin” and others hosted the book for me.
But I didn’t get one signature of the largest book of books, Sir Roger. “It’s the big one,” said Popo.
My book was ready.
Arrived in the store, we were surrounded by a few hundred people waiting for their turn. We did it just time.
When Sir Roger ran his race on that day, he constantly pressured, hoping that his time was not his time. Because the gun was sounding, he definitely wanted any negative deviation.
When we were waiting, four of us came out of a very positive deviation. Waiting with us Women’s Running pioneer Katrin was Switzerland and her husband, Pinnacle Roger Robinson. They talked to us about how they had known Sir Roger over the years, and they wanted to surprise him.
There was no surprise during those 1954 mileage. Many of you know that Sir Roger has hit his deadline as his historic 3 minutes, 59.4 The second performance has broken obstacles and resonance outside of sports and its borders. It was his moment.
Our moment with Sir Roger was as inspiring. Welcoming my daughters and asking their names, how old were they just a few minutes at the beginning of a few minutes?
At that time, Sir Roger looked at me and said something I would never forget.
“Now you are like a runner.”
I quickly replied. “Not as fast as you are as you roger.” Laughter flashed.
Laughter and joy erupt in England and the world in 1954 during that magical day.

Sir Roger photographed merciful, signed his books for us and signed Charlie’s spots. At the moment, I forgot something trying to sign the book of Milers. I knew Kenny Popo’s joy would never let me live.
I hurried to the book I gave my youngest daughter Brianna, who reached Sir Roger, as she left, and she generously signed it.

When the event ended, and Catherine, Roger, Charlie, my two daughters, and I said goodbye to Sir Roger We offered to return to his hotel. Sir Roger thanked us all calmly and modestly, and then calmly and modestly raised the cabin and went his way.
The mission is over.
