Via email on 1/25/02: I just
wanted to say Hi to all my running friends at the striders.
I used to be a strider 6 years ago before I moved to
Colorado. I was in town the other day and ran with Johnnie
Dean. I was sorry that some of the striders didn't show up,
but it was pretty windy. Anyway, good luck to everyone and
God Bless, Kevin Dougherty Striders Darryl Anderson,
Genelle Bonnel, Charles Brown, Barbara Deininger, Eric

Marathon,
Congratulations to Strider members: Darryl Anderson, Amy
Daley, Bill DeVore, Don Jacobson, Devonna Reiner, and Pete
Zellner as they competed in the Boston Marathon on
4/17/00. Several CWCS members gave a
hand with the installation of mile markers on the Platte
River Parkway on Dec. 4, 1999. I'd like to thank the WCS for
the get well card and comments. I'm not sure open heart
bi-pass surgery is the kind of articles the WCS's need but
believe there is a runners story. I was jogging on 2/28/99
when I knew something was really different - short of
breath, rapid heart beat, pain in the chest and numbness in
my left arm. A check the next day indicated a minor heart
attack and the two doctors and I believed I had a partial
blockage of an artery that could be corrected with
angioplasty since all my signs were good and I felt great.
The heart cat in fact showed 6 blocked arteries and the need
for surgery. The reason I got by so well even with these
problems was the condition I was in from exercising and
running. I'm doing fine now and am on a rehabilitation
program with recovery ahead of schedule. The points are:
stay in shape, listen to your body when something is really
different and if it is see a doctor. Tom Lockhart Received from a former CWCS
member (3/29/99): Greetings from South Carolina!
I left Casper in 1993 and have moved to a warmer climate but
I often think of those sub-zero runs in Wyoming. It was fun
to find this page and see all of the familiar names - I am
encouraged that many of you are still hard at it! I, too,
have continued running and am now doing several triathlons
each year. I actually ran into Doug White at a triathlon in
Ohio a few years back. Small world... I am glad to see that Steve
Barger is still able to break one hour for a 10K...Cindy and
Bruce actually did the Big Horn 50 miler and got those
COOKIES that they pass out along the course...Jake is still
pushing the cross-country skiing...it's good to know that
some things don't change. I am living here in Columbia, SC
and am fortunate to be able to train daily on the Olympic
Trials marathon course - a note to Matt Hartsky - it is VERY
hilly! I would love to hear from anyone...drop me a line if
you can. Best wishes to all, Received from a former CWCS
member (2/19/99): We moved from Casper over 5
years ago and were happy to find your web page. It's good to
see so many of the people we used to run with still/back
running. What a fun time we had looking through your race
results! We sure do miss ya'll. All our love from Texas, Doug White participated in the
20th anniversary Ironman
Triathlon World Championships
held in Hawaii on 10/3/98. Doug joined nearly 1500 athletes
for a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile
marathon run. As Wyoming's lone representative, Doug felt
right at home battling the 40 mph headwinds during the bike
ride. Rose Fry and Amy Daley had
their picture taken with Bill Rogers while in the Big Apple
for the 1998 New
York Marathon. CWCS club members Pete Zellner,
Doreen Ramirez, Don Jacobson, and Mel Koslowsky completed
the Mt.
Rushmore International Marathon
held October, 1998. Cindy Parrish and Bruce
Lamberson's summer vacation included a little mountain
adventure, the 50 mile Bighorn Trail Run held June, 1998.
