Swiss was born the same year I was, so maybe I understand his personality better than most.
To some, he comes across as a "know it all;" perhaps a little rough on the edges.
My first phone conversation with Swiss, quote:
"I'm eating a sandwich right now, let me call you back."
I quickly found out he wasn't putting me off at all. He did call me back and he did help me 100%.
Swiss speaks the truth straight as a spear, talks the talk and walks the walk.
He sets the bar height as an example of track owner and a businessman.
I wish him a happy birthday and I wish our hobby had a thousand more guys like him
