President's Column

As I am writing this column, it is beautiful sunny day. It’s hard to believe that the summer is almost over! I hope everyone enjoyed it. I want to thank Dave & Judy Kingston for again hosting the club’s annual pool party. Especially, because they were right in the middle of packing for their move to California…we will certainly miss you!   

Congratulations to Barry Lass for finishing Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota with an excellent time of 3:06:21 and to Geri O’Brien for finishing the Mayor’s Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska with a good time of 4:44:32. Way to go!  

Note in Upcoming Events that Trish & Gary Pomeroy have invited club members and their friends to join them on a hike of the Appalachian Trail starting at their house on September 20^th and then again on October 18^th.   To the newer members of the club, Trish and Gary were regular Saturday morning runners when they lived in Morristown, but now that they live in Sussex County we haven’t seen them as much.  It will be great to see them again and also to get the opportunity to hike through the beautiful countryside of Sussex County and get a workout of muscles you didn’t even know you had!  Put those dates on your calendar, and don’t forget to RSVP so we can get a headcount for the Walpack Inn at the end of the hike!
