The best way to remember and pay tribute to James Dunaway, the longtime track and field reporter who passed away this past weekend in Austin, Texas at the age of 87, is to revisit the interview he gave in the fall of 2010 when he was inducted into the USA Track and Field (USATF) Hall of Fame.
It all started for Dunaway in Chicago. By day, he was working at ad agency Leo Burnett. On the side, he started building out a syndicated newspaper profiles column about smaller town athletes called “Hometown Features” and used that platform to secure press credentials for the 1956 Melbourne Summer Olympics.
