The computerized scoring went perfectly; our thanks toJohn Lewis and Phil Thomas for providing that nice touch.The Video Taping, courtesy of the Lantern Pub, Mahopac, alsowent well and was shown the next evening at the Lantern Pubafter the meeting. Highlight of the viewing was the specialsound track provided by Terry Horton. Terry played his version of that famous winter ballad, "Ode to a Snow Plow."I t was a lovely instrumental played with a borrowed shovelwhich Terry scraped across the road as he cleared a path forthe runners in and a round the fin ish l ine . The resu l t wasprovocative musical score which promises to be a TRRC classic,complete with a melodic grating throughout and punctuatedby thumps and bangs as Morton's shovel plays its way acrossthe frozen snowscape. A virtuoso performance.

Last issue, with a pressing deadline, I abbreviated my editor ial to a succint "THANKS," So, I fulfil led my l i teralcharter and you were spared my literal lunacy. Come tothink of it, you will be spared this month also as I am going to expand on my last editorial and tell you to whom Iw a s d i r e c t i n g m y b l u n t r e m a r k .

Fi rst are the obvious people who have held d ist inct c lubpositions. Thanks to the Lenahan family for their hardwork in maintaining the membership roles and doing the mailings for all these years. Next is Harry Neeson for hist i r e l e s s w o r k a s e d i t o r o f t h e n e w s l e t t e r .

There is another group of people who, because they holdno elected posts, often go unnoticed for their efforts at club activities. These arethe people who show up at races to help without being asked; they are also the oneswho come to all the meetings and participate in the functional process of the clubwithin the the running community. They give our club its identity. Here "they" are.My apologies to anyone lef t out .

Melanie Mulvihill is probably the most unsung club volunteer; she has done almostevery possible chore one could perform for us. Last summer, for example, Melaniewas posted at a remote turn on the Biathlon course, away from all the action; calledupon at the last minute, she stayed there until both men's and women's races passed by.
