:IRLJohn Lawlor - Discus

LAWLOR, Dr. John F. Passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 20 surrounded by three of his children, Maeve, Paul and Owen. Dr. Lawlor was born on March 14, 1934, in Dublin, Ireland to Edward Lawlor of New Ross, Wexford and Mary Ireland Lawlor of Enniskerry, Wicklow. He was educated by the Christian Brothers at St. Joseph's School, Marino, Dublin. Upon graduation, he joined his brothers, Eamon and Paddy, in the Dublin Garda, where his father had been a Sergeant. A gifted rugby player and hammer thrower, Dr. Lawlor attended Boston University on athletic scholarship where he was a three-time NCAA champion in the hammer throw and recipient of the E.Ray Speare award as Scholar Athlete of the Year. His older brother Paddy earned 12 caps as a rugby player for the Irish national team. 

While a student at Boston University, Dr. Lawlor met his future wife, Kathleen Margaret Kingston, at the Hampshire House in Boston. Kathleen, from Dorchester, MA, received math degrees from Newton College of the Sacred Heart and Boston College.

Dr. Lawlor competed for Ireland in the 1960 Rome Olympics. Shortly thereafter he and Ms. Kingston married and moved to Silvermines, Ireland, where Dr. Lawlor worked as an exploration geologist. In 1964, he captained the Irish Olympic Team in Tokyo. Afterwards, four of their five children were born in Silvermines and the family moved back to Boston so that Dr. Lawlor could complete his doctorate in Geology at BU, which he received in 1970.

:FRA Daniel Robin - Wrestling

 

Daniel Robin, double silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling at the Mexico City Games in 1968, died at the age of 74 on Wednesday in Longueuil.

He succumbed to a devastating cancer.

This native of France had also won the title of world freestyle wrestling champion in 1967, in New Delhi, India.

In 1972, the Munich Games marked him. Israeli wrestling friends have been shot by the black Palestinian commando.

Robin has also defended the colors of his country on the international rugby scene. A long time wrestling coach, he was until recently vice-president of the French Federation.
