John Niland Dies

Yesterday as Marla's kids went to Richmond for the race, John Niland passed away at age 82. He was the six time pro bowler, and never in the hall of fame. He was an adoptee in 1946 as a two year old and he was 5th in the draft in 1966 after playing in Iowa college. The same draftees were Tom Mack and Tommy Nobis. Marla remembers John as the swiftest man.
