"...and with steady stride
he ran across the beloved land..."
My Friend...My Hero...

I run. My
race of all races is the Seoul Olympics Marathon 1988. I can still feel
each mile as if it were yesterday. There is no feeling like running the
final lap in Olympic stadium and crossing the finish line at the end of
the Olympic marathon!
I Read... By profession I am a Librarian. A hurricane Hugo survivor, all
13 hours of it, each in the library!
I remember... An athlete for most of my life, my accomplishments are
modest compared to those of some of my friends. There are so many
memories. Basketball.
"I love this game". My special attachment to it
lives on.
