I found a Tom Tabor, who is the young man jumping on the left, here. He is listed as a junior studying business administration. But I'm not sure if the older man I found has long jumps in his past, so I'll leave it alone.

This other fellow, though, getting ready for the hurdles, on the right? That's Richard Lasday. He was studying veterinary medicine, which seems to be a theme, this week. Born in Pittsburgh, he was a gardener and a painter, and active in his Jewish communities. He went to Cornell, and then Auburn. He served, domestically, in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He married, in 1950, a woman he met on a blind date. They had three children, and they had five grandchildren. Lasday lost his wife, who seemed incredibly active in every community they would call home, in 2011. They were married almost 62 years. Richard worked in the veterinary field until he was 85. He passed away at 95.
