Coach Groves and his watch at the Spiked Shoe XC Meet. |
Michael Bowen served during the Vietnam War and was fortunate enough to spend his tenure in the relatively safe environs of West Germany. But
one of his buddies wasn't so lucky and became one of the more than
58,000 fallen troops in Southeast Asia. He became inspired to run one mile for each of those killed during the conflict. He just finished the job
after 31 years of running at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington several days ago. He now relates that he is beginning the
1,500 additional miles for those still MIA and
3,000 for those killed on 9/11. Hats off to him.
And
Coach Groves must have posed for several hundred photos at the recent
Spiked Shoe XC Meet named in his honor. Here are a few of my favorites from
Charles Fuerte.
