Sam Hall, brother of Ambassador Tony Hall and the son of former Dayton, Ohio, mayor Dave Hall, served in the Ohio legislature. In 1960, Hall won a silver medal for diving in the Olympics. Later, Hall became a freelance mercenary and went to Central America to fight on the side of anti-communist forces (as an "advisor" to the Contras). In 1986 or 1987, he was captured by Nicaraguan government forces, which announced the capture of a spy. Hall was freed in less than two months. Hall now lives in Florida and works in real estate.
