Rich, you crack me up! Mt. Washington takes nothing out of you?! You are a hoot and a remarkable person. I'm honored to know you.

I know Rich as a fellow member of the Greater Framingham Running Club. He is a role model in many ways - he inspires with his quiet dedication to the sport he loves and through the hard work it takes to endure to the end. He does this with a cheerful acceptance of whatever gets thrown in his way in the meantime. And he does it all with a smile and the kind of engaging modesty that only true heroes display.

Thanks for your article, which captured these qualities so well.

I just read your article and am blown away by what a fantastic job you did at capturing "the essence of Rich". He is a good friend of mine and got me into running some fun runs like the Muddy Moose in NH and Breakneck in CT. At the Moose I lost my sneaker 3 times and at Breakneck I waded through thigh high water. Who knew trail running could be such fun. Rich is responsible for my newfound interest in tough running extravaganzas! He's changing lives all the time. Thanks for covering with due justice a legend in our time.
