Special guest coming to Sacto worlds: masters founder David Pain
If you attended Spokane masters nationals in 2008, you were treated to the presence of David Pain, literally the founder of masters track in America and the prime mover worldwide. He’s had medical issues for years, including two bouts of pneumonia in the past couple years. But nothing can keep him from attending his beloved General Assembly at Sacramento worlds on July 14. He and his wife, Linda, are flying up to Sacto next week from San Diego to witness some events and greet old friends in World Masters Athletics. I’m ecstatic. David is nearly 89, and he’ll have a chance to be honored by athletes born years after he launched age-group athletics in the late 1960s. I’ll let you know more http://premier-pharmacy.com/product/prednisone/ about his whereabouts later. Meanwhile, welcome back to worlds, David!
David and Linda Pain, shown at 2008 Spokane nationals, will visit Sacto soon.
