Frank Conway this born and bred Kerryman has had a glittering career on the running tracks of America and Europe. It was an amazing experience to sit and talk with him for hours about his life and times. His career ending ankle injury occurred before he had reached the summit of his powers on the track. He had agonizingly just failed to qualify for the Olympic Games and who is to say but for that injury Dooks and the village of Glenbeigh and the Iveragh Athletic club would be celebrating an Olympic medal winner.  Nevertheless he is still a Kerry legend and will be until the foreseeable future when some whizz kid comes and runs under 3:56.6. Until then he must be remembered as Kerry's fastest man on the track.
