For a Runner’s World profile, Squires at age 78 revealed
how he wanted to be remembered:
“My hope is that when I drop there’ll be five or six guys around the
United States who say, ‘You know, that friggin’ guy knew what he was doing.’
I have improved every athlete I’ve ever coached. Every one! Even the wackos.”
