FOR THE RECORD - Feb. 24, 2005

Raitt obituary -- The obituary of Broadway star John Raitt in Monday’s California section said he set state records in javelin, shotput and discus as a high school athlete in Fullerton. He won the state title in the shotput in 1935 but did not set a state record. He set a state record in the football throw, which was never bested; the event was discontinued a few years after he set the record.
