It was the day of the race. We deviated from our course in 2004 and 2003 because the rains caused the course to be closed and so after taking morning pictures of Len Suzanne and Ben and this self portrait, Jane and I went to the curb and planted our team sign because the race was going to be here complete with meatballs and shrimp for the after race festivities even as Ben played chess and Suzanne prepared and Len and Judy read the newspaper we knew it was time to go to Hoagie Haven where the men carried the 6 footers out to the car. When we got home, Pete and Lisa had arrived as had Sharon McKool and her children Susan Glazer and Ernie Heilbrunn OtherJane (Maggard) and Ben Devon Wessman-Smerdon Jan Woods Kaylen and Adele Hagadorn Adam Ash Laura Spence-Ash and a group of Jane's friends as Judy and Susan chatted as did Ernie and Dr Len while Doris Shea arrived Ed, Devon and Sarah ate apples and John Shea appeared to have his picture taken before I captured the picture of Emily Shea and her friend Sarah with Juliana and Karen Fuchs and Meredith with her neighbor before all the Szabo's (including Elizabeth) and all the Just and Michelle Alperin and Steven Sheriff arrived so that we could begin the team pictures until we were interrupted when Kathy Klockenbrink arrived though we could take more team pictures until Seva Kramer arrived and then there was a team picture with me in it should I wish to Photoshop the team and finally Emily Gittleman and Rich Gittleman arrived and the walk began. As we began, I ran into Bob Mac Lennan and also took this self portrait before I rounded the corner and saw Josephine cheering on the team and then completed the circuit and ran into Dr Len who recorded the order of finish.

Back at home, Adam, Rich and Tony are discussing the race with Laura while the Szabo parents and Elizabeth are relaxing and Juliana is having a wrap. Jan Kubik arrived late as Kathy Klockenbrink held the serving plate and the table of food was amusing Jane's friends assembled there as the Szabos engaged in conversation with Carolyn and then Dr Len as Dr Len discussed the winners and Richard Just showed his pride and claimed his prize as the Davidson judges rested and the remaining deviled eggs caused Sarah, Seva and Carolyn and then the Klockenbrinks to pose before Emily Klockenbrink posed with Kathy. Lucy, Fred and Jane seemed to be getting tired though they came back to life as the food supplies wore down and Cara and Audrey Straus arrived as did Joel Straus Linda Sedgewick the Dimaggios and Alan Straus. Once (almost all of) the guests had left, we could settle down and watch the Giants and the Steelers both blow games in overtime to end a day devoted to a good cause with traditional football disappointments.
