Flanked by Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist, left, and Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame President Randy Anderson, right, Ron Graham receives a proclamation on Wednesday morning at the Robert H. Jackson Center in recognition of his decades-long support of young people in the greater Jamestown community. Among his many initiatives were co-founding the Chautauqua Striders and serving as a director of the Infinity Performing Arts Project. In addition, he coached countless track & field athletes through the years. Many of them, in fact, went on to compete at the highest collegiate levels.
