  2006 Kona, Hawaii - 1/2 Marathon 
 
 
 

     My wife, Sue, and I ran the half-marathon in Kona, Hawaii in June, 2006.  Sue ran to raise money for the American Stroke Association.  I ran along with her.  We also had a personal reason to run: our sister-in-law, Julie Galler, had a serious stroke in 2005.   

     Running 13.1 miles in Hawaii was a blast and the proceeds of Sue's efforts went to a great cause.  Here we are on the home stretch with about 4 miles to go.

 

 

 

 

Washington County Fair

 

2007 marked the second straight year that I spent time getting to know and share ideas with Washington County citizens at the Washington County Fair.  It is always great to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes at our fair (just watch your step near the livestock barns!).  It is also great to see so many people who are so interested in good government.  Here is a picture of me at the booth in 2006.  We have not had a booth recently.  Maybe in 2011! 

 

 

 

Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Basketball Game

 

I was honored to be asked to play for the "Stillwater All-Stars" team against the Harlem Ambassadors in an exhibition basketball game in November, 2007.  The Rotary Club used the proceeds to help fund programs to keep teens off of drugs.  Here I am on a fast break making a lay-up.  Check out that vertical leap!  Although I can't prove it, I may be several inches off of the floor!
