Comments on: John L.

I used the gist of Jim Beatty's description of how wonderful it was to surrender all decision making to Igloi to explain Jim a little in "Bowerman and The Men of Oregon." I wonder if I could ask a favor. How does one go about contacting John Parker these days. He kept my "Best Efforts" in paperback at his Cedarwinds, but has been out of touch, no doubt pounding away heroically at his sequel. All Best, Kenny Moore Joan,

I have the benefit of having raced on indoor tracks in the 70's, 80's, 90's (and 00's as a masters runner) and I can tell you my 9:07 3k on an 11 lap board track was equivalent to the 8:56 indoor PR I ran in Barcelona on an 8 lap dream track. btw, Waldrop was the first person to break 4:00 at Madison Square Garden (Milrose Games).

Hahaha. I'm joking of course. That is pretty cool. Did you ask Mr Parker when “Again to Carthage” is going to be finished?
