Jim Griffin, 1942-2004
After attending Southeast High for his first two years, Jim Griffin and his family moved to the East High district. He sprinted right onto East High’s track team, a contender for the 1960 state championship.
Lee Ayres: Jim Griffin was an enthusiastic, hardworking teammate with an ever-ready smile to spark the day…. He was really fast, ran the sprints.
