Sorry, if I wasn’t quite clear ( I thought I was..)
Joe did get the Jerry Donley pole vault award.
Besides, he had the other mentioned, great results.
Joe and Janet drove “cross country” in their camper, starting in Florida!
Hope, they have a safe travel.
Good job, Joe!! Now you and Janet come to the Louisiana Senior Olympics in New Orleans on !0/4. Char-broiled oysters and beignets await you.
I have fond memory of “Jumpin’ Joe” from the indoor championships in Boston last March. Just as we lined up to run the 60h, Joe turned to me and said “Now, Curt, don’t be going and hitting a hurdle, falling, and hurting yourself!”
Wonderful gamesmanship, Joe! You wouldn’t be trying to mess with my mind, now would you?
Anyway, see you in the HJ pit in Winston-Salem in 2015. Bring your ‘A’ game with you this time, OK?
