Quote: "These people are really well-trained." --said a puzzled Bob Congdon, referring to the fact that lots of latecomers lined up outside to get in, then lined up again to sign in Bob's vintage notebook. All they really needed to do was to grab a piece of paper and pencil. Polite Ithacans!

Congrats, too, to Bill and Fran Taylor, and the Wineglass RC, for a very enjoyable, cold and icy Pie & Glove 5K in Corning Thanksgiving a.m. Volunteers had to stand outside in artic conditions while 213 runners registered and finished the race -- ala FL Snowshoe (cold but no campfire). It seemed like everyone got a pie to go.
