Just got an email from Marist cross country alum Marty McGowan (Class of 1973). He is about as loyal an alum in our program, and we appreciate his never-ending support and friendship.
Marty needs your thoughts and prayers, as Wednesday he is going in for hip replacement surgery. Marty has been an avid runner for many decades, and was very successful on the roads for many years after graduation. He was a true friend to me and fellow alums Hopkins and Kirk Dornton back in 2007, as he let us crash at his home on Staten Island the night before the NYC Marathon, and then drove us to the Fort Wadsworth start. It made what could have been a crazy logistical morning go very smoothly.
Anyway, I thought it was cool that Marty said he was packing his Marist Alumni Racing Team singlet for his hospital stay. As soon as he can start rehabbing, he said he would proudly don the singlet and get to work. Pretty neat.
All the best, Marty, and we hope to see you back on two feet again really soon.
Wish you all the best Marty
