Milt played in our poker league and was a regular right up until last month. If you took him out of a tournament he would let you choose a card from a deck that was all full of scenes from his 1956 Olympics triumph and he would autograph it for you. At the time of the London Olympics he was the oldest living decathelete so we were kind of pissed when nobody from the Olympic Committee or the media invited him to comment on the games. He was a great man and a good friend. Prayers go out to his family.
