Re: [N.E.W.] R.I. P.

I'm sorry to hear this.
I met George at Niagra Falls(Nat ional10k in 1987 when I started racewalking).
He was 84 and set an age group record. I was impressed with his abilites and his personality. He was also quite an active volunteer at races. Rest in Peace George.

racewalker when in his 80s and added a bright presence to many of our
events in the 1980s and 1990s, died Sunday at age 103.

I remember when he turned 90 on Nov. 22, 1992. We were having our annual season-ending 10K in West Concord that day, with George watching from Tom's porch. As...
