    An Olympian’s Oral History CRAIG DIXON 1948 Olympic Games – London - 110-meter Hurdles - Bronze Medal Interviewed by: Dr. Margaret Costa Edited by: Carmen E. Rivera Published by the LA84 Foundations 2141 West Adams Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90018 www.la84.org (c) LA84 Foundation, December 1999 CRAIG DIXON Today is Monday, March 25, 1991. This is Dr. Margaret Costa interviewing Mr. Craig Dixon, bronze medalist in 110-meter hurdles, 1948 Summer Olympic Games in London. Q: Tell me about your childhood. A: Well, as a matter of fact, Margaret, you’re sitting in the house that I was almost born in. I moved into this house on the westside of town when I was three years old. My dad had opened a Ford Motor Company auto agency in Vancouver, B.C., and my mother was born in Scotland and had gone to Vancouver where they met. He made his money and he became ill at a fairly young age with ulcers. In those days they didn’t know how to treat ulcers. He later, at the Mayo Clinic, had part of his stomach removed. We then moved here and he built this house in 1926, and lived off the income that he had developed from his agency by investing in the stock market. I was brought up in Nebraska on a farm during the Depression. He was a very frugal man. After he earned a degree in engineering from the University of Nebraska, he went to Alaska to search for gold, almost losing his life in the snow. Because the family had little discretionary income, I had a paper route, wore second hand clothes, and later sold Liberty magazine.
