Special thanks goes out to our membership for the overwhelming participation we had for Ole Man River 1/2 Marathon. Thanks again to all the volunteers, Rick Editor's Report: John Wall What? I gotta write something, too? Nobody told me this! All I can think of to say is: WHEW! And, Thanks to Everyone who helped me getting this issue (and my act) together. I have many names and numbers of volunteers who expressed interest in assisting with Footprints. If I haven’t called on you yet, don’t fret, I’m slowly making my way down the list. You will hear from me - I have plenty more to learn. I apologize for the lateness of this issue and am working hard to catch up. My number one concern is to get these out timely, really (oh, and to make sure there’s plenty of adult beverages at the races, too). Please, read this cover-to-cover; give us ideas on improvements, suggestions for articles, postings, pictures, you get the idea.. (I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even had the chance to find a photo to put in.)
