Billerica High School Hall of Fame

I got the opportunity to catch up with a few high school teammates at today's hall of fame induction ceremony.  It was great to see John (1981) and Jim Dangora (1982) both get inducted this year.  John pushed me both literally and figuratively during my sophmore and junior years...it was a hoot to see him again after 30 years.  Kevin Curtin (1981) and I were inducted a few years back.  Kevin coaches for New Balance Boston.

Wow! Long time Tom. How are you doing? I remember the picture of you and Carl Borgeson shaking hands (one of you was on the ground) after an XC race. One of my favorite HS pics....maybe I saw it a a Lowell sun banquet?

You have a great memory. That was me on the ground - I actually won the race but was wiped out. Later that year you ran me into the ground at Shedd Park. - tough race. It may have been one of your first big wins as I think you were a sophomore or Junior. I could tell then that you were going to be a great runner. You have really done well.

Life is good. Living in Long Island NY with my wife and 2 kids. Having fun and running a little bit.

Your blog is great - brings back a lot of fantastic memories. Keep running
