Summary "If you didn't know better, you'd say Randy Woelk's life was pure pulp fiction, starting with his transformation into the Galloping Goose from Goessel as a mere high schooler in 1939 when he broke the legendary Glenn Cunningham's mile record at the Kansas Relays. World War II may have cut short his athletic dreams, but it also launched him into a life filled with once-in-a-blue moon episodes others can only dream about." -- Verso of title page.
