Young Rahal brings back old memories at Ohio State: Jim Trueman, originally from Euclid, attended h.s. at Benedictine. We were Euclid buddies, and frat. bros. at tOSU (SAE), where Jim graduated w/BS, Engineering. He went on to be a major element in forming Red Roof Inns, and Truesports, a racing organization. Jim was big in Ohio car racing and started same at Burke Airport in Cleveland. At some point , Bobby Rahal raced for Jim's Truesport, and advanced as Jim's Indy driver to win the Indy 500. In great sadness, Jim Trueman died shortly after that iconic win.

When I see Rahal's name and Ohio State, I automatically think of Jim Trueman, a blue-blood Buckeye from Euclid, a great friend to many of us when we were young, and a Buckeye of considerable accomplishment. Jim died much too young.
