The Girl Who Ran: Bobbi Gibb Statue to Be Unveiled in April
Volume 5 | November 2019 The Girl Who Ran: Bobbi Gibb Statue to be Unveiled in April The Foundation’s goal to honor Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, has exceeded the second and final stage of its fundraising objectives, Foundation president Tim Kilduff announced recently, and a bronze statue of Bobbi will be installed in downtown Hopkinton just prior to the 2020 Boston Marathon in April. This second phase, whose goal was $26,200, brought in more than $32,000, thanks in part to Bobbi’s family and campaign guidance by Charity Team’s Susan Hurley. The statue, sculpted by Bobbi herself (shown), is being cast now by Buccacio Sculpture Services of Canton, Mass. More about Bobbi’s pioneering story can be found in The Girl Who Ran, whose publisher, Compendium, is donating signed copies of the book to those Crowdrise donors who contributed $100 (illustration from book, above). Find out more about Bobbi’s epic 1966 run and the sculpture project here and here. And, listen to a brand-new Boston Herald podcast here, in which the Foundation details the history of the project. Apply Now: ‘Team Inspire’ Bibs for Boston Going Fast As we write this, approximately 50 of the Foundation’s 65 invitational entries for the 2020 Boston Marathon have been spoken for, with runners from as far afield as the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia selected to represent ‘Team Inspire’. In return for the bibs, team runners have been asked to donate or fund-raise, with proceeds earmarked for the Foundation’s signature project, the development and construction of an International Marathon Center (IMC) in Hopkinton, MA. -

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Los Angeles and the 1984 Olympic Games
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Los Angeles and the 1984 Olympic Games: Cultural Commodification, Corporate Sponsorship, and the Cold War A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Josh R. Lieser December 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Catherine Gudis, Chairperson Dr. Molly McGarry Dr. Kiril Tomoff Copyright by Josh R. Lieser 2014 The Dissertation of Josh R. Lieser is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Los Angeles and the 1984 Olympic Games: Cultural Commodification, Corporate Sponsorship, and the Cold War by Josh R. Lieser Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, December 2014 Dr. Catherine Gudis, Chairperson The 1984 Olympics offer an unprecedented opportunity to consider the way that sports were used as cultural and ideological warfare or soft power in the late stages of the Cold War era. Despite the Soviet Union’s decision to boycott the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were a claimed “victory” by President Ronald Reagan in the Cultural Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Los Angeles won the right to host the games, and was a politically prudent choice for the United States within the context of the Cultural Cold War. The complicated history of Los Angeles and its constructed post-WWII identity are important elements to the choice of Los Angeles as host city. The Soviet boycott of the 1984 Olympic Games by the Soviet Union is central to the buildup to 1984, but due to the financial success of the Games the Soviet absence was not the crisis that many predicted. -
Tells Inspiring Story of First Woman to Run Boston Marathon New Children’S Illustrated Title Celebrates Bobbi Gibb and Her Historic Race
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Angeline Candido Compendium 206.812.1640 ext. 228 [email protected] “The Girl Who Ran” Tells Inspiring Story of First Woman to Run Boston Marathon New children’s illustrated title celebrates Bobbi Gibb and her historic race. SEATTLE (June 15, 2017) — In 1966, the world believed it was impossible for a woman to run the Boston Marathon and Bobbi Gibb proved them wrong. Compendium is honored to announce the release of “The Girl Who Ran”, an illustrated children’s book based on Gibb’s journey to become the first woman to run Boston Marathon. The book begins with Gibb as a young girl with a relentless desire to run “like the wind in the fire.” A visit to the Boston Marathon with her father ignited her dream to take part in the race. But her application was rejected by the Boston Athletic Association which informed her that women were incapable of running the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. People worried she would cause herself serious injury and thought that she was mentally ill. She proved them wrong and finished the race ahead of about half the men who were running, with a time of 3:21:40. Authors Frances Poletti and Kristina Yee worked to bring Gibb’s story to life. Illustrator Susanna Chapman visited the Boston Marathon and sketched runners, capturing the spirit and community of the race. A timeline on the back of the book gives a history on the Boston Marathon and the increasing number of women who joined each year. -
A Message for Lent from Rev. David Madden
10 Creative Ways to Explore a Bible Passage by Jeremy Steele (www.umcom.org)(Note: This is a helpful and interesting article. Since space is limited, this will be a two or three part article, spread out in two or three newsletters.) #1 #14 Last month (February 2017 Methodist Dimension), we covered 1) Decode the Story and 2) Decipher the Argument, as ways to explore the Bible. Here are additional suggestions of out-of-the-box ways to explore, study and better communicate the Bible’s message. Good to the last drop 3. Design a comic strip: This method can be great when used with the first two ideas. Break the passage into eight or fewer discrete scenes and draw the key action of each scene paired with dialogue or important narration. This is all about exploring the passage by imagining what else is happening in the surroundings. What are the reactions of the other people? Do any props come into play? How are they held/used? How does the setting shape the scene? Don’t be afraid to use stick figures! 4. Create a meme: The current trend of placing a catchy word or phrase on top of an image is not only fun, but can also help you explore the Bible. Imagine that you are encouraging people to read a specific passage of the Bible. What phrase would hook Volume V – Issue 3 March 2017 people to read more? What image both matches the theme of the verse, and inspires curiosity? sample of a ‘meme’ 2017 5. Become a Bible translator: Don’t worry; we’re not arguing that you need to take several years of biblical languages to understand the Bible. -
