Remembering The Passed

Remembering Harrison Dillard, Vera Clemente, Dr. C. Wayne Bardin, Werner Doehner, Klees Golf Shop Harrison Dillard came out of Cleveland’s East Tech High School, the same high school as Jesse Owens, and like Owens he won four gold medals, two in 1948 and two in 1952. He is the only man to win gold as a sprinter and a hurdler. Vera Clemente was the wife of baseball great Roberto Clemente and she helped keep his legacy alive with her humanitarian activities. Dr. C. Wayne Bardin was one of America’s leading endocrinologists, and he developed several methods of hormonal birth control. Werner Doehner was an eight-year old boy in 1937 when his parents brought him to America on the Hindenburg. He was the last survivor of the ill-fated hydrogen airship. The family-run Klees Golf Shop was a fixture on the South Side of Chicago for more than a century.
