> ... Among those 20,000 runners was our own John Ball, a PWP who continues
> to run marathons. It was pure luck that I picked him out of the crowd and
> called, "Go, John Ball!"  (It amazes me when my soft PD voice sometimes
can
> carry, but  years of singing lessons may pay off.)  He turned to greet me,
> said he was doing well though a little slower than he would have liked.
> Yesterday at a support group meeting, he had described his medication plan
> and I had offered to be there with supplies if something were to change.
> But today he said his plan was working, and all he wanted  was a swig of
> water. Then off he went to challenge his own personal best, running half
an
> hour ahead of my young nephew and an hour ahead of my young office
> colleague. "Go, John!"...
