Gil Dodds with Torrey Johnson before Dodd ran his laps and gave his testimony. The previous year, Dodd, a seminary student at the time, had broken the record (twice) for the indoor mile. During the rally, he was introduced by Johnson and then ran two demonstration laps around Soldier Field, after which he gave his testimony. Dodd was probably the star speaker at the very early YFC rallies. From the Papers of Torrey Johnson, Collection 285, photo album I.
