Frank Morton of the Bronx is 500th member of our Forum
Yesterday I shipped off a Geezerjock ballcap to Frank Morton — a thank-you for his being the 500th person to register for our Forum. Frank runs for the Nike Central Park Track Club and frequently shares results from the Armory and elsewhere. His most recent news is about fellow club member Sid Howard: “Sid was only a little more than 5 seconds off the American indoor record in the 800 last Thursday at the Thursday Night at the Races track meet at the Armory in New York (he ran 2:39.point something) on his 70th birthday (in the past he has set the World and/or American record on his 60th and 65th birthday). This was after being injured for a while.” Frank’s a middle-distancer himself, and hopes to be in the M55 mix at Landover nationals — despite having three knee surgeries in recent years. Congrats on your comeback, Frank! And thanks for joining the Forum.

Sid Howard is the pentultimate competitor and team mate. He is the definition of an iron hand (or legs in this case ) in a velvet glove.
He is one tough competitor and always there urging folks on in their competitions; his enthusiasm is contageous. I wish him 70 more great years of breaking records and inspiration to all of us in Masters Track and Field.
Love ya Sid, Happy Birthday.
Sid got down to 2:34.42 last night – only a few tenths of the record.
